But part of the reason we use it here is that meta-various-ti-things may use a different layout from meta-community-oriented-distro and this lets us handle both with just a tweak in the various-ti-things layer to add a text file. Again, may not apply here and that's fine. Heck, we're trying to move more towards always just using the community layout. -- Tom -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
