I did this. It's been many moons and many point releases (and a major release) since the last time we moved a package directory (ncurses, I think) from contrib to latest. Hopefully the changes in the internal logic -- and the greater reliance on setup.ini -- mean that this will cause little if any disruption. (Also, Robert asserts that it will cause no damage). So, a test (in preparation for cgf's possible reorg?) Besides, we have a several 'latest' packages (bison, grep, sharutils, texinfo, textutils, vim) that depend on libintl (gettext). The "policy" was that 'latest' stuff should depend only on other 'latest' stuff -- that was the rationale for moving ncurses, anyway. >> 2) update bzip2 to the latest release -- which involves the grand >> library split thing (bzip2 -> bzip2 + libbz2_0).
