Didier, I think there's a big misunderstanding here: Sure, I disagree with you. But that's mainly because our software installation setup is different from yours, and the present scheme fits ours pretty well. I don't think that it makes much of a difference which setup we choose, which is why I believe we might just as well leave it unchanged. I won't change it. If you want to change it, go ahead. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone more than it does currently, I won't be in your way. The root of all evil here is, of course, once again, hierarchical file systems which hopefully will be among the first things against the wall when the revolution comes (along with syntax tables, read-time macros and a few other things). Given that noone really bothered since the days of Unix, we better use what we have. Please let me design the package system in such a way that it doesn't need to care about these issues. If you want granularity, put packages wherever your high-levels setup tells you to. If you get duplication that way but want sharing, use links. That's precisely what they've been designed for. -- Cheers =8-} Chipsy Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
