well, tetex.spec went bit nuts :) i do remember that tetex package split gave us real HDD space[1] and network usage[2] savings, so it is worth the effort. for example, tetex-*context* packages, which i don't use, are over 38MB in size (to download). if you know that adding some subpackage will save several MB in size, then why not. otherwise i would not bother. regards, wrobell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [1] my asus eee pc has 4GB of storage, so don't event try to tell me that sdd space is cheap [2] i am accessing internet via 3G, so please don't tell me that bandwith is cheap, as well _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
