My point is that it doesn't matter to much. Say you want to use only wmpager. You install the dockapps package and you also get other 40 dockapps that you didn't want, but is that really important? They are so small! IIRC, KDE games which would install a bunch of them. I think that makes sense. The same for wmaker dockapps.

We should think about the dockapps from dockapps.git as a whole. Being too fine-grained will hurt because that's mantainance overhead. > One repo to rule them all. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
