I'd argue pretty much everything available on a modern distro would be OK provided we have a reasonable fallback (e.g. to ASCII as I had even written), along with some sort of documentation of dependencies, or perhaps better, some command line option to gather the info dynamically. But then again, I've already said pretty much this a year and a half ago and most people seemed more interested in some kind of purity argument than having better documentation :-) johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
