Hi all,

I'd like to reorganize the GNOME section. Currently we have "Core"
and "Additional" sections. I'd like to break it down further into:

Development Platform Packages
Core Desktop Packages
Additional Packages

The existing Additional packages doesn't need to change.

For the new "Development" section, we'd move the packages that
currently exist in the "Core" section up to and including libgnomeui,
into this new section.

What remains in the existing "Core" section will become the "Core
Desktop" section.


==============================================
Why this change?

1. To better conform with GNOME's platform/desktop arrangement of
the source packages. With the new method, all of the GNOME "Platform"
sources (except two accessibility packages) are installed in one
BLFS section.

2. This provides a separation of GNOME development tools so that
3rd party packages such as the GIMP's and ABIWord's GNOME development
environment is somewhat centralized away from the GNOME desktop
(though it is all integrated most of the time, anyway).


Thoughts from others would be appreciated.
