Those are the 48 packages I talked about, and the readme in that dir shows
the 500Mb figure I mentioned above :-)
The difference between dep and rpm (well apt-get and the command rpm
technically..) is that the dependencies are automatically satisfied with
deps; and I don't have to manually download and select packages. With 48
to choose from and an estimated 50% being installed allready, this is quickly
becoming a significant difference.
Anyway; thanx for answering my (probably annoying :) questions, I'll wait
until this stuff is stable enough to be downloadable via apt-get, or until
its in CVS-HEAD.
