I realise that some users may want just client or server functionality, but aren't these the minority - is there any real advantage having two packages rather than the single package we have had up until now? I thought we were discussing just a change of Section name rather than a fundamental splitting of the current package. > >> > > You're right, it's for users who wants just client functionality.

Personally speaking I don't see much benefit to having only client installed, but others may disagree. > > Then again, maybe I'm worrying about nothing. :) I certainly don't want any servers I'm not using, for security reasons. -- hendrik > > _______________________________________________ > maemo-users mailing list > maemo-users at maemo.org > https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
