I do it m'self, but I *prefer* to use the package system when I can. It's just a constant frustration for me that to use the (most excellent) apt/dpkg system, I have to stay two years out of date. > There's no reason why it *shouldn't* install in potato (and slink, and...), > except the maintainers. Which is kind of my point. If I were made dictator of the Debian project (not bloody likely) I would declare all distributions to age out at six months: at that point, unstable becomes testing, testing becomes frozen, frozen becomes stable, period. And six months would be a MAXIMUM, not the standard cycle. One year of built-in obsolescence is still a lot. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED]
