Which part of the procedure is complicated? If you are speaking of the addition of the publisher and repository information to your system, it is hoped that the process can be reduced to two or three clicks, once you've registered, to add the extras repository to your system. It is also hoped that the registration process itself can eventually be integrated within the package manager to further simplify things. Cheers, -- Shawn Walker
