Yes, I've filtered those out. They don't add enough to justify keeping them in the rotation. Compare, for example, apt and apt-doc. Most descriptions for 'apt-foo' will be like 'Contains documentation for foo in various formats', and the interesting exceptions are rare. Similarly, -dev, -dbg, -i18n-, and some others are filtered out. Note that the filtering is currently just done by a regex on the package name, so .*book will be be left in. (autobook and rutebook are left out because they're in non-free, not because they're filtered.) > -----Angelina Carlton----- > orchid on irc.freenode.net > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > web:bzgirl.bakadigital.com OT PS: aptitude -vvvvvv moo -- Peace, Aaron Maxwell - http://redsymbol.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
