I would like to suggest a few changes that I think would make openpkg
builds and managements more useful:
1. Specify all configuration files that are essential to program
operation ``%config(noreplace)'' (e.g. postfix's main.cf, samba's
smb.conf, etc.) to avoid breaking production systems when doing
updates.
2. In liew of implementing package-specific options in ~/.openpkg/build,
use option names such as ``with_vim_x11'' instead of the more generic
``with_x11''.
3. Add options ``with_%{name}_doc'' to allow the builder to include
documentation. One package that really wants to have documentation
on-line is Samba when using ``swat'' since one of the primary reasons
for using swat is easy access to the documentation when configurating
obscure options.
These can be implemented without any organic changes to openpkg, and I
think would make using openpkg-tool.
