Nice theory; however, db can't read gdbm files, nor does it provide the gnu-specific version of the interface... so the existing gdbm will be needed provided indefinitely. > does it need tk41 or will it go woth any version of tk ? > i hate to have tk4.0 4.1 4.2 and 8.0a2 installed on my system. It doesn't need *any* version of tk installed by the *end user*. It needs tk41-dev installed by the X maintainer, in order to build the package... but it only uses the static library. > should packages named alt-lib-dev or altlib-dev ? That's a good first question; maybe it should be lib-altdev, like libc5 uses? (I don't care that much, I just want to get it nailed down...) > great. and maybe a timeline or so would also help. Indeed... especially if the goal is to have this all done for 2.0... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
