Personally I disagree with you. Even though few applications can still not work without the hal rdepends, some uses hal but not in a really non dependant way and the split allows a finner selection where to include or not it. This allows also distros to select and change it by package. > PS: how can I merge your xfce work into .dev? The git phrasebook isn't > really clear on that. I'm rebasing the branch against final repository and I'll send a patchset for acking here before pushing it. I guess I can send those patches later today and push it tomorrow if someone acks it before that. My idea is to split the patches in: - xfce-refactor-branch where the inc files are droped and the packaging improved - xfce-4.2-branch new version There're also a number of fixes that I'll be sending here for review and pushing together. -- O T A V I O S A L V A D O R --------------------------------------------- E-mail: otavio@debian.org UIN: 5906116 GNU/Linux User: 239058 GPG ID: 49A5F855 Home Page: http://otavio.ossystems.com.br --------------------------------------------- "Microsoft sells you Windows ...
