The discussion has been to augment 'setup.exe' in a way as to provide users with feedback about "important" package changes in general. It has come up in the context of the gcc change but would have to apply generally. "Important" would be defined by the maintainer by some mechanism. Presumably, every release of package 'foo' does not trigger the "important" flag. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
