1 Hi,
2 I've been meaning to ask - what's with the new double name thing in eix?
3
4 Why is a package now shown as
5
6 ~2.6.19-r1:2.6.19-r1
7
8 instead of just
9
10 ~2.6.19-r1
11
12 How does this help me, or what isit trying to accomplish? As a user
13 type it sure seems less readable now.
14
15 Thanks,
16 Mark
