Betreff: Re: "default"(?) postmsg for alternatives

Hi Phil,

the gar page on alternatives, seems to hint that there is a "standard"

Well, I used that for my packages. There is no automatism for it,
you have to manually add it for each package.

I'm rather against this for two reasons: first of all, people usually
complain there is too much output already :-}
The other, is that I dont think it is useful enough.
Just saying "use --config" implies that they should ALWAYS use it,
which is false.

Ideally, I think it should be removed. or at best, a simple reference
that actually works.

It worked perfectly in the past.

Do note that

http://wiki.opencsw.org/package-alternatives

is now an invalid url!!

I vaguely remember there was a page. And it is a standard to have
 http://wiki.opencsw.org/package-<catalogname>
to explain things about the package.

If you feel strongly that a longer version should stay in, then I have
some suggestions for improvement.

Please do.


Best regards

 -- Dago
