Well, for starters the libsigc++-2.2.8-1-doc.tar.bz2 would give upset, and possibly setup.exe heartburn. It should probably be libsigc++-doc-2.2.8-1.tar.bz2 instead. I like the idea of separating the documentation but not every package does this so whatever you decide is ok with me unless someone else has a compelling argument either way. cgf
