Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-SW-Source: 2003-07/txt/msg00014.txt.bz2 Red Hat Linux is becoming the "Red Hat Linux project" - see rhl.redhat.com. "One of the goals of The Red Hat Linux project is to encourage a pool of high-quality add-on packages; if we're successful, there will be so many we won't be able to support all of them." Perhaps some of the rhug packages should be distributed as part of Red Hat Linux? Pick out a couple of popular or useful packages to start with: Ant, Tomcat, ecj ... (Tomcat is bigger than ideal, but of course it is very useful to provide it.) There are a number of packaging issues to resolve, of course, which is why it makes sense to start with a few simple packages to work out the issues. I'm personally interested in adding Kawa to Red Hat Linux, but we need to standardize on packaging issues. -- --Per Bothner per@bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
