Yes, that's the same thing I was thinking :) There are various things that can be done with debtags tags, such as: debtags grep "!devel::library" which hides libraries or a very cool: debtags grep "!culture::* || culture::italian" which hides locale-specific packages which don't apply to my locale. So, if you bear with us for a little, we may be able to get some of this into post-sarge. The team is small, but work is going forward, with outstanding results that are just waiting to be integrated a bit more in normal Debian tools. And there's work going on also for that. People wishing to help, or to know more, please drop me a note. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <enrico@enricozini.org>
