Installation Source is any medium that contains one or more installable Software Packages. Software Repository is sorted collection of Software Packages (rpm, deb, tar.gz, etc). Catalog is describing repository content. (Felix Miata) Channel would be communication way, like protocol and server to reach some destination like Software Repository. Is this would be appropriate as a naming schema? Please see http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Vocabulary and edit as appropriate. -- Regards, Rajko M. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
