Hi,
I'm wanting to split up the lib{xslt,xml2} into seperate -doc, -devel, -python,
etc, packages. I figure I should wait until the next release, but just wanted to
hear is there's any thoughts pro or against this. This saves bandwidth for the
user that only needs lib{xslt,xml2} (the runtime(s)) and means there is no
change required to the setup.hint files on sources.redhat.com to this to happen.
My inted layout is
libxml2 the runtime library
libxml2-doc manuals, docs, etc
libxml2-devel headers and static libs
libxml2-python python bindings
libxml2-perl perl modules (XML::)
libxslt ...
libxslt-doc ...
libxslt-devel ...
libxslt-python ...
Elfyn
