In other cases I agree with you. I think we need more detail discussion about these things i.e : - directory structure - version decision (3.5.8 x 4.0 or both) - package format (SVR4 or IPS, rules for create .... names, paths ....) - build dependency map - install dependency map - and so on and so on .... .... in other words ... we need Project rules, web site, wiki and few other people. > So, our directory tree might look like: > /opt/kde > -- bin > -- include > -- stdcxx > -- lib > -- stdcxx > -- man > -- share > -- v3.5.8 > -- bin > -- include > -- lib > -- man > -- share > -- v4.0 > -- bin > -- include > -- lib > -- man > -- share > > The would basically make it so that we could share dependencies > between every version of KDE we package and should allow us to install > multiple versions of KDE under the same directory tree. > > What are people's thoughts on this? > we can discusing about it. first draft is quite useful > Cheers, -- Lukas Oboril When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic.
