Now you need to think about what needs to change. There will always be a distinction. Want to know what it is? contribs is parallel to cooker; it's development is done on cooker, for cooker (or the next version) Club, on the other hand, does not do development for cooker. It is packages for stable versions. Packages for Club are done for (now) 9.2, 9.1, 9.0, etc. So how do you propose to merge the two when they have two completely different targets? contribs is not designed/built/whatever for older releases, Club is. Club is not designed/built/whatever for cooker... contribs is. This makes making the distinction disappear more difficult. It's like trying to say that the distinction between cooker and updates should disappear. That's easy to say, but difficult to do. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ Online Security Resource Book; http://linsec.ca/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
