And yours, kraxel's, mine, kolab, packman, suser-guru (I think).

Christoph use your account at gwdg and start buidling the structure above. It would be a good start and it would give insight what is needed. You can even link your own and kraxel's and mozilla repodata into that structure. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
