I disagree. From experience, I know that up to %50 speedup can be gained
in number crunching stuff. I'd suspect %20 could be pretty normal for
most CPU hungry apps, and the overall speedup would be signific

I request you to re-consider the proposal. Supplying a symbolic link would

That way, filesystem standard compliance is not disturbed, and the users

I was running dpkg-scanpackages to construct a custom apt source.
This was the first time I really ran it, so I encountered the
peculiar style that I had to conform to.
This was what I had to write to make a Packages file in a flat dir:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/public_html/debian$ dpkg-scanpackages .
You may use the following apt source for my ddclient deb and
the sather debs that I've fixed for woody.

Please see ITPs on wnpp and on this list for information on these
packages.
