Of course they should remain in the OOo cvs. The question is: how are they built and packaged. It's a PITA to have to build the whole OOo code base and especially the "instsetoo_native" module to get a single package. As I understood it, the idea is to be able to get particular combinations of modules and build a single package from them without a lot of scp2 and instsetoo magic. OOo as a whole then will be a combination of several packages. That is the goal, not the first step. Now we are discussing what can bring us near to that goal and what might hold us back. > The report design extension is a typical example of what i called a > promoted popular extension > An extension, first has his own life outside OOo > When popular and included in OOo by default, sources come into the CVS > and is built during the whole process The point is that people want to get rid of the "whole process". That doesn't mean that we won't be able to build everything in one step but that shouldn't be the only way to build something that is part of the OOo code base.
