I think it would be bad even if the interface stabilises or whatever (as Marcus noted). Would you like to see a separate package for all the GNU utilities? I sure wouldn't, ld in a specific package, gcc in another, ls in one, cp in even a weirder place. ;) I would rather abolish the whole mentality of packages and have one central system called GNU with all relevant sources in /src. Just like *BSD has. Cheers, -- Alfred M. Szmidt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
