I think your comment highlights one of the problems in this discussion, in that that you have an understanding of a term and the capabilities of the thing the term is about (In this case a 'repository') Theo's idea of the same thing will not be exactly the same as yours and mine will also be different again (mine probably widely different as I've most likely not understood it:-/ ). > uptake will still be extremely low - and that is, quite simply, > because most applications have not been packaged, and probably never > will be. Yes many programs are now mature and not being updated so don't need packing. It is those are being regularly updated that need doing and will benefit. n.b. I've been following the thread and I am broadly speaking in favour of packaging provided it is not the only way updates are provided. Keep everyone happy.
