I'd believe that. The main motivation that I wanted to split up into dependencies needed for each module is for this reason. For instance, gedit wants to use the gtksourceview module from gnome-python-desktop. If you were going to try to tackle all the modules in gnome-python-desktop, you would be in dependency hell for a long time (I know because I've done it :) At least this way you can identify a path of least resistance if you need one of the modules. In fact, trying to build the python plugins for gedit was the initial reason why I started this nastiness and why I happen to know how to break things down by module. In my setup, I break up the modules into separate packages to ease the dependencies. I thought about making separate ids for each sub-module, but then figured it wasn't much gain. I realize that this is gonna hurt in jhalfs :) If you have any suggestions on how to break things up a bit, let me know. So, yeah, it's still rough. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
