Indeed. And one of the options could be as follows: Instead duplicating our normal "packages" at the root level, have an actual INSTALLER proggie for CSW. That proggie could be a pkg, or one of those funky sh-wrapper things. If it's not a normal package,it then is free from any and all of our "standards", and can do whatever it likes. Such an installer could help a user select a pkg downloading tool, select a mirror site,and other fun things like that. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
