Do you know some resolution for this? Personally I don't think this is a big issue, but I think you can be right. I thought about it and don't get any good solution... BTW I think koffice uses the same approach for now. Maybe Oo.org too. Many other distributions uses that way too. If the user knows that there exists packages, he/she should know that the base package is only a meta-package. This can be described in the Description field too. > Apart from that, it clearly has advantages, but we need to make really sure > that the packages are truly independant and work when the others are not > installed. I already took care of this, they work just fine. I tested every single game here, but another person doing this to confirm could be very helpful. I completely agree with "we need to make really sure" on packages. We have to provide high-quality packages to our users ;) And on this point, IMO, Fedora Extras is rocking. Keep it up!
