If so, the apt package in Fedora just does what upstream (Debian) does, and we track upstream closely, right? The setting in /etc/sysconfig/apt would be something simple to carry a separate patch for though. I'll shut up now. :) /Anders -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
