I'll be happy to do the rpm work.

You may not see the difference, but I certainly do. Every month someone is suggesting a new package organization and wishes to use or change some hierarchy or values. Category information *must* be outside of packaging so that users may rearrange the tag values and hierarchy to taste. Your suggestion is the 4th this year that I am aware of. 73 de Jeff _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
