I vote for #3. We've made a similar decision while moving from Bering to Bering-uClibc, where we decoupled libs from the packages built against libs, because it was too confusing and you had to install a package only because of the libs included, on other times the libs has been packaged twice or three times. I agree that #4 may too much work and may too much packages. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
