I'll commit it shortly, > I'd say only use packages/cdebconf-plugins if that would be a single > source package that built multiple plugins, otherwise > packages/cdebconf-entropy would be fine. My thought was that it might clutter the packages/ directory once there will be more plugins - and so perhaps it made sense to organise it similar to packages/partman and put each plugin into a subdirectory named after the package. I think some plugins for gtk widgets may emerge from g-i work and for example Tollef might want to move his keystep plugin to d-i svn at some point. Then again this is svn, not inflexible old CVS, so it can all be moved any time :-) cheers, Max -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
