You bet. You can do it by looking for packages with similar tags, or clustering them according to similarity in the description. Or both. I do it, for example, to suggest tags in http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/edit.html Also, if you go to http://debtags.debian.net/search/ and type a package name, you should see similar packages showing up (it'll also offer popup completion of package names for you). I'm however a bit in a hurry now, and didn't quite understand what is the problem that you're trying to solve. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
