I can surely be wrong, but my understanding of this proposal is that it is, in essence, equivalent to what Jan Molič presented here: http://lists.gobolinux.org/pipermail/gobolinux-users/2007-June/005906.html except that links are grouped under /System/Links/Dependencies rather than stored inside each /Programs entry as UsedBy. (Except of course for technicalities such as naming and the use of ranges.) My concerns about it are the same as the ones I presented here: http://lists.gobolinux.org/pipermail/gobolinux-users/2007-June/005911.html It has to do mainly with the order of installations. Following the thread linked above, a conclusion was that perhaps global checking is not that expensive, and has advantages such as avoiding duplication of information and ensuring consistency. (But note the "perhaps"). -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
