I think we should move all the distribs in (finer-grained?) packages so that we have more control over the upgrade procedures, etc. Currently, when someone installs the "bin" distro, he doesn't have any idea of what is being put on the system, basically. It's just a plain tar zfxv -. :( In other words, everything should be packages, and the distrib concept should be scrapped and replaced by "packages" and "third-party packages". I thought that this was general consensus. Does this commit go against this? I personnally thought libh also had a mission of kicking out the door the old distrib concept. :) A.
