1 Cheers Bret,

3 I was unaware that a ~ signified the package as unstable.
4
5 On the same note:
6 Anybody know why acct has been marked as unstable, Debian class this as
7 mature and it does not appear to have had code update for 5 years.
8 I have checked the Gentoo bugzilla and found one entry relating to acct,
9 this is a request to have it included.
10
11 Cheers,
12 Danny

20 THe ~x86 and ~ppc show it's not stable - hence masked.
21 The ~ means that architecture is unstable.
