Why? You want to move all mime / icons stuff to separate packages and you have to handle these mime / icons things in the -menus packages too, because you have to link them to the proper places. So, the end effect is - smaller packages, more logic, more errors ... If you are arguing that the end user have to download all these icons / mimes twice, three times, ... Simply put these files in a separate directory like langpacks and do not pack them. See PJ builds: o ftp://ftp.openoffice.cz/devel/680/.../ - .tar.gz - OpenOffice.org core, apps, ... - one language - langpacks/ - remaining language packs So, why not to place these integration packages in directory like menus/ and let the user download just one integration package. Nobody will be forced to download mime/icons twice or more times. Nice example of good package splitting is -core, -writer, -calc, ... I have to install -core and than, I can use -writer or -calc or both of them. -menus packages is different case, because you're not choosing if you'll use -suse, -mandrakelinux or both of them, but you'll use -> just one <- package for your system. In other words, why to create additional packages when there will be (always) just one package which will be requiring -icons, -mime-types? Still don't see any advantage of this solution ... -- Robert Vojta http://blog.vojta.name/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
