While this is the nicest solution so far, it requires some telepathic view into the future. At the time you depend on a package's API, you don't know when it will break BC. And for this idea to work all package already must have this dependency entries. So you not only have to be able to look into the future, you also have to be able to change the past. ;-) Jan. -- http://www.horde.org - The Horde Project http://www.ammma.de - discover your knowledge http://www.tip4all.de - Deine private Tippgemeinschaft
