So far, I have been doing the releases only, as there is a bit of a problem synchronizing with the SNAP schedule. I fully intend to build snaps in the future. If you (Jordan) could give me warning of when you are building a snap, I could then synchronize with you and track it here. One of the reasons I have been slack is that my poor old machine takes +- 20 hours to complete a release, and it has _never_ run to completion without some manual intervention. This means that for about a whole weekend I have to babysit the SOB; bye-bye weekend, and my system is dog-slow for the duration. If some kind soul could donate a Pentium, I think I could improve on the timing (hint, hint) ;-) M -- Mark Murray 46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa +27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200 Finger mark@grumble.grondar.za for PGP key
