Yes, I think it's a good thing to distinguish between presentation and data itself. Fitting information on a 80-column terminal is a separate issue from having the information in the first place. You can come up with a number of algorithms to fit that information on the screen. I believe that having a consistent mapping between sonames and package names is more valuable than the absence of a text formatting step. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
