.7.3.3.c or > 0.7.3.3.final, but I was wondering what The Right Thing To Do would be. In the future, if you modify upstream's name of 0.7.3.4.b1 to be 0.7.3.4b1 instead, then 0.7.3.4.0 will be treated as a later version. I think that is pretty clean, and no need to wait for the ~ cap

earch and dns-nameservers lines to the stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces if you are using resolvconf, or add scripts to if-up.d/ and if-down.d/ to muck about with resolv.conf, or whatever you like. I've done both, though I just switched to resolvconf (thanks, Thomas!).

I think this is an excellent point. I can think of many times when I've done development work in Debian and ported the result to Solaris, IRIX or HPUX. It is, of course, not a requirement for Debian that this be easy, but the easier it is, the more convincing the argument for integrating Debian into a mixed *nix environment, for everyone from developers to CIOs. -- Neil Roeth

I am in favor of dropping the 386 altogether, but this is acceptable as an alternative. If people would rather work on keeping 386 software up to date than just run woody forever, more power to them.
