Hello,

Well, ok... I will use a date to do the export... But it is not the kind
of thing i like to do ( ie, it is to do an official debian package and i
prefer to fetch a full version tagged by upstream author -- better to
track different problem to have a version 2.5.8 than to explain that it
is from the CVS date XX/XX/XXXX ).

Maybe the best solution is to have a full 2.5.8 source from upstream
author, but i know it is also a big load of work.

Thanks
