Don't you know Mandrake provides free hosting for small scripts, with free CVS support ;-)? http://cvs.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/contrib-SPECS/cursor_themes/choose_cursor?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup > I could make a package for contrib too You may get more patches by putting it in contrib (not from me though, perl is greek to me ;-)). > I was actually thinking about > that a few minutes ago.

I would be more interested in config files and multiple source support (I will probably use it now for updating jpackage and plf, since I have local cooker mirrors, but jpackage and PLF I currently rsync over dialup. BTW, how's this for an idea: -Be compatible with urpmi, making a local (file://) urpmi source -adding a config option for the urpmi source with the details needed for rsync, urpmi.mirror (does this conflict with Olivier's sutff?) would update the local urpmi source via rsync, then update urpmi's hdlists (urpmi.update) This would be useful, since most uses of this script would be mirror urpmi-enabled rpm souces? (And if not, urpmi could ignore them?). Then all it needs is a gui. And when fpons gets to adding something like --repackage to urpmi via rsync, we already have some code/experience in place.
