I think it was just before I subscribed to the list, and I skipped over the subject about perl and python. > Is it worth updating to HEAD and trying again? Sure, it sounds more complete than what I have. You could also wait and see what feedback this thread gathers. On a different topic (and in response to Carl and your earlier discussion), as a counter-weight to the desire to avoid dependencies (which I agree with), I also think we should be careful about how many embedded copies of code there are, from the point of keeping up with security problems. This is probably a bias I picked up from Debian. -- David Bremner Professor, UNB Computer Science bremner@unb.ca http://www.cs.unb.ca/~bremner Cross Appointment, UNB Mathematics http://www.mitacs.ca/ MITACS Atlantic Scientific Director
