I argued for "base" :) Arguing for "base" doesn't necessarily solve the real problem. People seem to be forgetting that packages can exist in multiple categories. I think that gzip and bzip2 obviously belong in the same category. gzip is already in Base. Probably bzip2 belongs there too. I think that both should also be in "Utils". Currently only bzip2 is in Utils. I don't think rxvt belongs in Base. >Actually...what happened to that list I made of stuff to be installed >by default? IIRC, less was in that list, and we just got someone >complaining on cygwin AT cygwin DOT com about less not being installed by >default. What's going on here? I think I pointed out that the current category list came mainly from Debian. I don't agree with less being in the base. So, as the less maintainer, it hasn't been moved. >Wasn't ``someone'' going to move around several packages? Do the >maintainers have to do this themselves, or can the hand of fate push >around package categories? I have no problem with maintainers moving their packages into another category unless someone wants to do something nonsensical like move bash into "compression utilities" or something. cgf
