Or even Yeah, I'm going to set it to ignore all i18n packages, as well as all -dbg, -dev, -doc, etc. I'm kind of on the line about libraries; I think I will filter them out though. better, you could set-up a couple versions of the potd. One for desktop users that focuses only on apps, one for dev's that includes libs, maybe one for cli junkies that greps for no X11 dependencies and so forth. just a thought. I thought of that, and it's a good idea, but I doubt I will. I want it to be simple. Maybe eventually I'll allow customization/prefs that will add or remove categories of packages. -- Peace, Aaron Maxwell - http://redsymbol.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
