Adopting Conary as a standard will have to be voted / proposed separately after all of the work that needs to be done happens and proper evaluations are made. The project will need to address major technical issues (such as sparse zones, bfu, patching, etc.) before it is reasonable to propose it for adoption as a standard, but there is no reason that it cannot exist as a project so that the work that needs to happen first can within the community. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst binarycrusader at gmail.com - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
