Nobody has to download and install anything. You are showing that you do not even know what packages exist in Debian. 'prtconf' has been in the sparc-utils package for probably like two decades. I fail to see how having the proper tool in the distribution makes things harder for users. And, by the way, my opinions and my preferences do matter. That's part of what being the maintainer is all about. Being the last choke valve of taste and decision making for changes that go into the sparc port. Thank you. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
