This is the absolutely most important question. As a group we can get any package to install well. Gerrit, Gareth, are you both willing to be _maintainers_ of the package, feed patchs (if ever needed) back to the FSF, and create new packages in a reasonable time period when the FSF update indent? If you both are, flip a coin or something. I really don't care who is the maintainer. Discuss it privately. Get back to the list with an answer. Until then I'm not going to waste time looking at either set of tarballs. Rob
