I see Gary's point. However, wide distribution of current documents is
|
|
most definitely a Good Thing, and if rpm packages will widen
|
|
distribution, it is worth considering. rpm is a standard. So is .deb for
|
|
Debian based distributions.
|
|
|
|
With .deb packages available, couldn't a Debian user automatically
|
|
update their documentation quickly and easily with apt-get? And,
|
|
couldn't a Helix Gnome user do the same with Helix Update?
|
|
|
|
Dan York is stepping up to the plate and offering to do the work; why
|
|
not let him?
