You provide a quote and share a link to its source, but do not elaborate what _you_ want to say by sharing that quote. What you quote, and the longer message by Thorsten, makes sense to me. If you are trying to prove that ftpmaster _do_ explicitly endorse duplicate source through _repeated_ embedding of same module, then where do they say it is ok and good and encouraged and endorsed to embed _same_ code _multiple_ times? "constant four = 2 + 2" should always be embedded - e.g. always embedded in src:node-sillymodules where it was provided as virtual package node-four. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
