like two lines in sources.list; the intention is that the main
directory is a Debian mirror, and the local directory can be used for
some upgraded pacakges if (for example) the mirror is on a CD-ROM or
NFS.

you, you could always make the copy at the end of the [U]pdate method,
and then copy it back at the beginning of the [I]nstall method! (It's
not the prettiest method ever, but it would work ...)
Hope this helps,

Instead, make up a simple package of it, and stick it up for FTP
somewhere (I would suggest experimental, but that's no longer allowed, is
it? Where's the canonical place for this sort of thing now?). Then post
your changes here, and interested people can download it themselves
-the-fly. This would save mirror space, but would require
the doc-source to be installed (since it would have to Depend on the
doc-source package).

t this? If I'm going to
need to change Giggle to be reentrant, I probably ought to start fairly
soon, especially since it does make fairly heavy use of one global data
structure. Even some simple example code would be very useful: which
libraries are currently reentrant?
