However, every time I use (1) some distro (usually Arch) emails me to say they need wider ranges so they can get all their packages consistent.
Well, in Gentoo we normally resort to using sed to fix these kinds of things. If we can do it, I'm sure the Arch package managers are able to do so. It might be more annoying, but IMHO it's a bigger problem when a developer is too lax in constraints (since then we've got to tweak the constraints until we find ones that _do_ work). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
