Well, my own reasoning is mostly that I don't like lots of duplication, it just bloats packages for a small convenience. QGIS package is 75MiB, Matplotlib is 53MiB. I don't do a standalone package any more because there were problems (although now fixed I think) and of all the shared parts (GDAL, SQlite, python stuff, ...) are useful on their own (but only useful to QGIS in a standalone) and to other packages like GRASS, MapServer and PostGIS. Also, when QGIS 1.8 was released, certain plugins were not rewritten to use it yet. ----- William Kyngesburye <kyngchaos*at*kyngchaos*dot*com> http://www.kyngchaos.com/ "We are at war with them.
