I love embedded and really long term support cycles (20 years), but, don’t think we should cater to the 20 year cycle just yet. :-) Since 7 is substantially longer than 2, I don’t think we should worry about it. If they had updated at the time, they would have had 3 years of engineering and testing before the release and _had_ 1.5. > Sorry about the obvious (possibly dumb) question. Can't we just import a copy of dejagnu each year and install it as part of the source tree ? I can't imagine installing dejagnu is adding a huge amount of time to build and regression test time ? Advantage is that everyone is guaranteed to be on the same version. I fully expect resistance due to specific issues with specific versions of tcl and expect, but if folks aren't aware of this ..... regards Ramana
