Hi guys. I wanted to ask a question about policy. It's only one
package that I know of, and most probably is only one, but I haven't
checked lesstif yet. I was thinking about adding rman as a required
dependency for NAS, rather than wraping it with 'if you've installed
xorg 7', and then adding a note at the top of rman page that says it's
already installed if you've installed Xorg6 or XFree86.
What do you's think? This also warrants revisiting my original opinion
about libdrm, mesa, rman, and xterm being in other parts of the book. I
think I might have been a little to quick to judge on those.
Moving these packages to the xorg7 section takes about ten seconds to
do, so it's very little work. I still say that the packages are already
in the correct sections by expected use, but the expected environment of
an installed X Window System includes them, and will generally make it
easier for editors that might have to deal with them in the book. I
also think being linear, as Bruce had mentioned previously, will be
easier for users. I'm undecided, so let me know what's best.
