Because it's not very obvious how it could be done well: each person may only use 10% of the available packages, but it's a radically different 10% for everyone. Also it would be a large amount of work to split the main archive this way, both in initial setup and in continuing maintenance and tuning. pdiffs are a better solution: <http://auric.debian.org/~bjb/pdiffs/>. Unfortunately <http://people.debian.org/~bjb/> which used to have the required client program for those seems to have disappeared in the recent move of people.debian.org; I'll try to track it down. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
