Satoshi, I ran into an interesting problem putting the packages hierarchy on CDROM: RockRidge definitely _does not like_ the `.packages' directory that everything lands in - it doesn't complain but the resulting CD is bogus with packages pointing nowhere. When I renamed this to packages (I wrote a quick C program to rename all the links) it worked fine, but that leads me to wonder this: Why not collapse this one level and just install all packages straight into all, sylinking into that location? Right now, we just end up wasting all those symlinks in the all directory! This would solve my problem and be more efficient, too. What say? Jordan
