The packaging error is not one that I would have found because I don't generally test my applications on Linux or other Unixes during normal operation; the htmldiff error was actually something related to a planned shift. In future versions of Diff::LCS, htmldiff will actually be disappearing in favour of an extension to the ldiff. htmldiff is a legacy application from the original Perl port. QA does *not* catch all things; I know, as I work with highly qualified QA people at work. I appreciate the work that Mauricio has put into RPA, and I look forward to the stability that the RPA will provide to people who can't afford to deal with the bleeding edge, but still appreciate the ability to package my own software and make it available to others. There is a time, place, and purpose for both RPA-style and RubyGem-style packaging systems and philosophies. There is little time, place, and purpose for sycophants. -austin -- Austin Ziegler * halostatue / gmail.com * Alternate: austin / halostatue.ca : as of this email, I have [ 6 ] Gmail invitations
