It's also the proper way to specify the dependency. --=20 brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187 --UPT3ojh+0CqEDtpF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJTVuxPAAoJEL9TXYEfUvaL6AwP/3dw4CoqEUPvNRyBXseykTsG Bo1NWxDan/DAUl4yMXD1Sr5V7Kylgt6yMXIFuOhTZY8vhLYMwkqegDgdjwY9QFAH r9TYRZBygkJqVd/ff/lL3OqmmJwpEXYZUhcEAymGpUt2Yr2rbBQK0d32Q1IHOfxS 734qKZxEMyEn5uUSxdA6ZHzfWKmU8+GlaX+S8hEZDoDjPRsf8TQU4ncwT+VS4qKf bP0/alRjlwFT2vAVL0IMUhJqvrbu9l4/xaOH/mcYjJqozbEAW8k3GGUSY0GoRv3d H+koHkqKxvIjfasDUMj/2D5Ji/K3JdpaQeuTebGj2bKmF4zaRI2HYKB1R6bcARhh /sVcPr/HjCVq/dakVj72dMogDklG1S9lsf9UBztiPWi2E1vfWa2XSlRknrppxVmq sDwMNJZzzTf8ERKds7mCPMvHvNx9uEOVZb2LYoj/E4VAF2BGQBFd4NFeeE3ZNLya n7nHzQ4u840IPYS0hna78O75sgTIYXPU+RziqPHNWJeVKg5eL1hMUnCMnDoaeGhL EuxxM84Yt7UoOFuTSZjrYfEjoJogOtXYZzAiTLu0WQtu9z2tUYa/9yrR6Lbxn2JD JOVY5MmnnLvFsUPfOpEHfz5id3IG9fp96LpboqTqYjZKfzkelXIMBg+Q1206CW82 hSGoM8WWy6mUXxpO6nYn =0tNB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --UPT3ojh+0CqEDtpF--
