Yep. Although I am a bit wary about _replacing_ the "user/foo" section mechanism with tags, there is no doubt that using tags in _addition_ to sections to determine visibility is a good thing, since it reduces the need to fork. But, not every package needs to be forked right now, only the ones that you want to have visible in the Application Manager. My impression is that those packages need a significant porting effort anyway, and adjusting their section is an acceptable change. Another interesting scenario to consider is using Debian unchanged as our distribution. Then we can't fork by definition, and all Debian packages must be suitable for us, unchanged. The "user/foo" section mechanism is probably not acceptable for that. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
