Thanks for the support Johannes = ). I'm Balsa's maintainer.
Perhaps we need a gnome-net meta-package as well? For all the GNOME
communication software, since Balsa is more of an Email client than a
office suite component. So I propose the following:
gnome-office Depends: evolution | balsa, ...
gnome-net Depends: balsa | evolution, epiphany-browser, gabber,
gnomeicu, xchat2
What do you guys think of this compromise?
Yours sincerely,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
PS: Would anyone be opposed to the GNOME Clipboard Manager
(gcm-applet) being added to the gnome-office metapackage?
