Well, I was only talking about it from a package management point of view, in which case users do come and complain to us first ;-) Note that the sed'ding is done via the Gentoo ebuild for the package, as are any patches we apply; as such there's no "fixed" tarball or anything floating around for any of these packages. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic [email protected] IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
