Because it seems like a useful tool, and KDE:Extra is a pretty standard repo for KDE users on openSUSE. If someone wants to submit it to one of the gnome repos as well, they can do so. KDE:Extra has a number of applications with both Gnome and KDE guis, if I recall correctly. One advantage of having it in the KDE:Extra repo is that it is properly built against the different versions of KDE that are available (often as many as 5 or 6 different versions) and the proper version of Qt (usually only 1 or 2 versions), while packman is only built against the default version. I am not sure this is as much of an issue currently with gnome, although it may become one with the coming changes in Gnome. -Todd _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list [email protected] http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
