Yep, I agree 100%. I think a group like Packman, where the quality is perfect since years and packagers who I know, (all of them are well known if you worked with SuSE for a while ;-) is a good way. I can trust them, add their install source to Yast and import their key to my RPM-database. Same with some suser on: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-*/ This smaller groups can easier managed, look for Quality, licences and so on. I think their is no a need for one big SuSE/openSUSE RPM Pakager Group. .. But for a global one SuSE/openSUSE RPM www archive, database It's easier to make one point in www for this. All small Packager groups around the world can have a base here. The user can chose what he want and then add their installsources in Yast. There can be one database for all packages from all packager groups with a uservoting like on http://www.kde-apps.org/ -- Ciao Marco, registered GNU/Linux-User 313353 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
