Adding water to a boiling and already full kettle... Why can't we use a concept similar to this:
<assume> vfat is used </assume> Package name: pppd-2.1.4 Package files: pppd-2.1.4-bin.lrp, pppd-2.1.4-conf.lrp pppd-bin.lrp contains all necessary binaries and 'non-editable' scripts, pppd-conf.lrp contains all configurable files. All we will need then is to backup only the ???-conf.lrp files. I am perfectly aware of the problems this solution brings along, but hey, at least it's one more opinion/idea!

With the maximal fragmentation in Oxygen, one can strip out GNU sed for minised (or whatever) if it is desired - just rm sed.lrp and put in the desired msed.lrp... It sounds almost like you want a "minimal set" of enumerated binaries and functions, and then Oxygen would add set X and Dachstein would add set Y. It sounds like ANSI FORTH (did I say this before?). ANSI FORTH has a CORE Word Set, and a FLOAT Word Set, etc. An ANSI compliant FORTH may have a minimal number of Sets, but if they are compliant then it is "ANSI Compliant with the CORE, [...etc...] Word Sets." Is this what you have in mind? _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
