my reasons for packaging up indent was as practice mainly ... discover what
things I got wrong so that the package that I really would like to maintain
(nano) I would have better luck getting it done - ident is completely OOTB
depends on nothing ... so it looked like an ideal target for a first go...
and indeed i have learned a few things... like no dir files in the
distribution ;) - so now I dont really care at all so long as i find out
exactly the post-install script is supposed to be done - should of
remembered to put that question in my post this morning ... but i was too
sleepy... same reason why i didnt write a setup.hint...
But your job looks better done, and if your willing to maintain it then I
would say go for it ... I will get to work packaging up nano - which
ofcourse was my original aim.
