+1 Do you have an opinion about font- vs fonts- (i.e. singular vs plural)? Currently some packages already use the font- prefix (e.g. font-ibm-type1), while others use the plural (e.g. liberation-fonts). Are non-font packages allowed to use the prefix? -- Florian Friesdorf <[email protected]> GPG FPR: 7A13 5EEE 1421 9FC2 108D BAAF 38F8 99A3 0C45 F083 Jabber/XMPP: [email protected] IRC: chaoflow on freenode,ircnet,blafasel,OFTC
