Yes: bundle anything that is usable/finished and documented. All package documentation should be in the reference manual, or perhaps in a separate package-manual. The beauty of using python is that I can go to the python doc-dir, and do grep 'whatever-I-need' *.tex, (or sometimes even, rpm -ql python| grep 'whatever-I-need' ) and I know directly if it's supported. No hassle with looking around for relevant webpages, or finding out how to install it. Perhaps it makes for easier logistics if all packes were in a separate tarball, due to release frequencies -- don't know about that. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | hanwen@cs.uu.nl | http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
