No idea to be honest, but I'd expect that it's for some internal packaging reason. The biggest downside with repackaging some stuff is going to be managing conflicts. Like the bad old days of ximian gnome VS redhat gnome. Either way, good luck with the project :).. -- Cheers Koz --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
