It seems there are duplicates of pkgutils, ports and possibly other core packages in contrib. I don't mind people duplicating core (or opt) ports in their personal repositories, but could we please keep contrib free of them?
+1, rpm2targz is one of them too. I guess someone hasn't read the contrib goals: * Create a large collection of user-created ports which work well together. * Improve individual ports by encouraging cooperation between maintainers. * Make it easier for users to get the software they want from one place. * Avoid excess work, as currently many duplicate ports exist. Adding duplicates doesn't avoid excess work, it isn't very co-operative and certainly not easier for the hypothetical "user". -- Antti Nykänen | aon@iki.fi | http://aon.iki.fi/
