Laca: > I don't know the background of this question, but:
I was just asking why the SUNWGlib, SUNWGtk, and SUNWgnome-base-libs packages are all in different categories when you go to packagemanager. Then we got to wondering what the packages are actually used for. >> The Dekstop team does not own the SUNWGlib or SUNWGtk packages. I am not >> really sure what they are for.

Right, but we were wondering what the pacakages are used for, and who delivers them.

Part of the reason why we initially put multiple upstream modules into packages like this was because the package names are typically listed as "Uncommitted". Packaging like this gives us some freedom to add or remove modules without affecting the package naming so much. I am guessing these sorts of ARC concerns are just not such a big deal now, or moving forward. Is this the case?
