But I'm not the > maintainer :-) for the record, sitecopy author == neon author, and he doesn't feel compelled to maintain backwards compatability in his API since neon is not yet at 1.0. i agree that life would be considerably easier if it did, but that's not the way things are at the moment, so we get to jump through some hoops to make sure the various packages that use neon will work with the latest version. i'm sure that the author would be more than willing to accept patches to sitecopy updating it to the latest version of neon. -garrett -- garrett rooney Unix was not designed to stop you from rooneg@electricjellyfish.net doing stupid things, because that would http://electricjellyfish.net/ stop you from doing clever things.
