For whom? For instance under your scheme, a user of webmin-postfix will also get webmin-sendmail depite the fact he is unlikely to need it. Think of Webmin modules like Perl CPAN modules. It doesn't make sense to bundle e.g. all the XML::* modules into one big package does it? I think it will be more promising to follow Manoj's suggestion and integrate my current script into the standard build system. (But how exactly would that work?) > > #2.

I thought it would be harmless to include non-free source for the ride as long as it wasn't built into a package but Manoj has convinced me why that view is wrong. -- Jaldhar H.
