Not next week? Pah, Some use you lot are! [:)] But yes, this is an area I would see myself naturally fitting in, assuming you mean working in a packager capacity. > - selection of packages to be included on the base distribution. Again, yes, I would see this as an area to have influence in, allied with decisions on how to package them. A good example of this (and I know I've never added this to bugzilla - my bad) is Abiword. I've been doing packages of Abiword for ages now, effectively the closest this Abiword has to an official SUSE packager. I follow the Abiword team's convention of packaging it like this: abiword -plugins-tools -plugins-impexp -clipart Whereas SUSE have retained a monolithic package. Now, I'm not saying one way is inherently better than the other way, but it's an example of a point for discussion. -- James Ogley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
