I want something that wraps around the whole thing and makes it something the user does on a file by file basis with NO underlying knowlege about how we decide we want it packaged that week. The submission mechanism I'd envisioned was a heck of a lot more high-level than that! You just hand it all the pieces and it goes off and does whatever's necessary. This should be the developer's mantra. "Have I made it any simpler to use today?" When they truly reach the stage where they can say "No" then they'll be enlightened buddas and FreeBSD will be like a zen tea garden - perfection enshrined! :-) Jordan
