rd problem. Setting up different automatic conversion programs for different classes of keyboards might be a good approach (and a good job for long-term job security if someone were paying for it).

Re: Bad package selection practices in Fedora packages

d is more constructive than tweaking while you chisel and pare. I do plan on trying F16, anyway. I hope that, if I opt out of desktop search there, as I did when I installed F11, it will still keep me free of that evil. The locate database is sufficient for my purposes. Package selection needs to be somewhat more conservative, and I have the impression that the dependency mapping needs re-work. -- Joel Rees -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
