There are already packages in repos that have size around 200MB and the extras backgrounds would fall into that kind of packages too. Therefore I was thinking about splitting the package into sub-packages as per the (sub-)categories listed on the wiki + plus providing meta-packages to e.g. install all sub-categories of the specified category, or everything. That would be nicer to our users. Maybe even make separate packages for wide-screen wallpapers as people with 16:10 displays usually do not need 4:3 wallpapers and vice-versa. Another itchy thing is update of such packages. In environments with yum-presto the issue would not be big, but for standard fedora environment as it is now it means a lot of d/l with every update. That would mean we'd need to keep the updates low and/or rather than making sub-packages for categories, make the fully separate packages (but keep the sub-categories-subpackages). Btw. it is good thing to have upstream in more convenient place than wiki/rpm, therefore making a fedorahosted.org project for that might be a good idea. What do you think? Any ideas/comments on that matter? Martin
