A package can belong to more than one herd. So you could create a media-vdr herd, and have two herd tags in the metadata.xml for the vdr packages; media-tv and media-vdr (I suggest the media- prefix as it's not necessarily obvious what vdr means on its own). If you do this, make sure there's a maintainer tag. However (c) seems to be the most sensible approach. >=20 >=20 > What do you think of that? >=20 > Zzam >=20 --=20 Kevin F.
