A more accurate analogy would be asking software vendors to continue to insert themselves in the "Add/Remove Programs" list. It's been the standard for decades. To be clear, Debian is NOT complaining about the work required to adapt source distributions to Debian's FHS layout. Packagers have been doing that for a decade and will continue to do so. They are asking people to not make it any harder. --=-u3BDkj9E+Wry7rjtJixj Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Tue, 2006-05-09 at 04:08 +0900, James Britt wrote:
