no, i'm still trying to get mkii and mkiv working at the same time with a
fundamental different setup strategy .. getting there
Or perhaps 2 completely different distributions?
mkii: frozen, only some fixes from time to time
mkiv: no more mkii files, no more pdftex, just pure mkiv
Yes, I like this idea. I don't care about mkii, nor pdftex.
In the first place, this idea was meant to make Hans' life easier.
(not the user's life... ;-)
as there is not much code written for mkii the burden for me is not that
large; also, now that the codebase is completely split, there is less
danger of changes in one affecting the other
also, there are mkii users out there, including collegues, so it won't
be dropped
installing mkiv only is already possible for a while
ok, we can have less files if we make a zip split, something that might
happen at some point (i need to adapt my assembling script then)
for a moment i considered
base/mkii
base/mkiv
base/common
but it might not be worth the effort,

favourite programs working on suse 11.3 as it kept crashing linux on
11.2 but well, it's beta for a reason)
