Yes, it will.

Stuff under files are not packages proper, so they're not under package management. For the particular case of plugins, I think a case could be made to have them moved from /Files into the /Programs tree, actually. > But it would be nice if Compile > and InstallPackage could install things to /Files too.

I think these are remnants of pre-fontconfig days when apps couldn't rely much on fonts provided by standard X server mechanisms. > And many stuff looks for plugins under /S/L/Shared/... as well.

Yes, there are already various kinds of add-ons that are designed to live under /Programs. -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
