Are there any plans to make the base tar also a real package. Essentially I would like to see the base tar like: base depends on: base-binaries base-config sendmail bind opensshd ... This way one won't get the clashes when one installs base (which includes OpenSSH) and later want to add a newer version etc... I am kinda used to Debian, though I yelled at that at first too when I jumped over from VMS which don't have any package management at all and I yelled at Debian because it did all my work for me.. strange huh :) But now I am used to it... I also sometimes like to know where a binary belongs to and as the base tar isn't a package one has all kinds of binaries which can't be resolved to a package... I could... do a tar -t and cat that to a package list.... but then again it would be neat to have this per default... Another point is that one doesn't want named nor sendmail on a workstation so one could leave those out then...
