Thanks for the doc link. It would be useful if the package headers contained some encoded information about what group memeberships affect its behavior, like "depends-on", "suggests", &c. Then automated tools could do interesting things based on that info. If there is a formal process for integrating that data into a future version of the package format, I'd like to pursue and nominate that. Unless you can explain why it's a bad or unworkable idea. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
