Fine..eventually it should be in Core or not... but a particularly shallow packaging problem... that can be addressed by moving the solution into Core later. Remember Extras a path to inclusion in Core for "important" items. We aren't going to get anywhere at all if we collectively hold our breath, stick our head in the sand, and wait for someone inside redhat to deem this important or not-important and decide to add the optimal solution to Core. We get much further by building a flexible solution in Extras and adjust it based on growing experience using the solution. -jef -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
