I almost like the fact that these are in a separate repo. It seems more idealistic to me - "this repo does X" instead of "this repo has some of this and some of this, and audacity, and screen-cvs". But that's just me. The complication comes from the fact that setting up pacman for multipl repos on-the-fly seems a little ungainly. But I'm just blathering here... _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
