Fair enough, I didn't know that. It's still a complex beast, an order of magnitude beyond what I'd be capable of packaging well at the moment. > i don't see whats so hard about making a package for mozilla unless > he's compiling it himself...

All I know is that questions about this to him or people who know him are answered by "he's working really hard on this and is trying to release as good a package as he can". I'd be surprised if it wasn't available before that section of woody freezes, so there's time enough. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
