I figured it'd be easier to just have them as flavors, and default to installing all three. It's a distributed IRC client, so it will not work as designed without a core running somewhere.. a client running somewhere. Now, the monolithic version simply runs the core internally alongside the client. This is useful for people who simply like the UI but don't want to have to configure a server for it. Now, with that said, I suppose I could do away with the monolithic option on OpenBSD. Now, how a couple of Linux distributions do this is they have a "quassel" package with all the common stuff, and "quassel- mono/server/client" packages that all require the quassel package. The way FreeBSD handles it is, the package simply installs all three parts no matter what, and the ports system has options for building whatever part you may actually want. I was hoping to be able to use OpenBSD's flavors to make this a little more binary-friendly... Chuck Chuck
