Another major problem is identically named programs. I can think of one in particular, not in the tree at the moment, but both would belong in net-misc (two authors independantly wrote programs to do basically the same thing, with slightly different extra features, and then named them the same thing). Even if they aren't in the same category, support for identically named programs is important. --=20 Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=3Dpeople.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 --BXVAT5kNtrzKuDFl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Robbat2 @ Orbis-Terrarum Networks iD8DBQE/WVQLsnuUTjSIToURApzQAJ9yGPz7mKGSpdOhbdtwlHBhzbNO6ACfW5H6 9E+hlUcIfMei0VOq3lNuSoE= =K0/0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --BXVAT5kNtrzKuDFl--
