Probably, I just subscribed here. So I missed the initial discussion (although meanwhile read up in the archive). On Wed, 25.

I also expect separate projects to work better - packaging is probably more about the differences of platforms than their commonalities. But as I'm doing the debian (and in turn ubuntugis) and the OSGeo4W packaging of QGIS, I'm probably a bad example for that point. I also believe coordination could become a problem, if we try to get everything under one umbrella. Jürgen -- Jürgen E. Fischer norBIT GmbH Tel. +49-4931-918175-31 Dipl.-Inf.
