Yeah, but it's not really useful on desktop computers... that's also why i didn't put xfce4-power-manager in either of them. Likewise, i didn't put x11/gigolo nor gvfs-samba, because not everyone uses GVfs... and i didn't put xfprint, because not everyone kills trees :) > But otoh, before looking at the exact contents, my feeling was "why > bother with an -extras subpackage?" just put everything into the main > one. If i did that, i'm pretty sure i'd get complaints :) I've looked at what other oses do, and most of them separate core/base from goodies, with a somewhat similar separation. Landry
