Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert P.S. I only track `real' (-pre and -rc) releases. I don't have the manpower (what's in a word) to track daily snapshots (I do `read' bk-commits). If m68k stuff gets broken in -rc, usually it means it won't get fixed before 2 full releases later. Anyway, things shouldn't become broken in -rc, IMHO that's what we (should) have -pre for... -- Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@linux-m68k.org In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.
