I still think we should consider recompressing our packages to the new lzma
format if it offers better compression advantages. It is good that it
supports our current pkg format, this is goog for compatibility w/ our
current online repos, but I think the iso still needs to be re-compressed

Hi Guys,
First of all my sincere thanks to you all for joining in here on a very
important part of VectorLinux, the SOHO project. We really haven't utilized
this mailing list as much as we should as it gives us all a record of whats
going on and who has done what. I think we need to push to get more people
to join the list and as a result get more people involved in some area of
development. I think JohnB cleared the confusion on the new slackware
package format and it looks like we can safely jump to the new package tools
without having to rebuild all of the existing tlz packages. Now the biggest
hurtle is to come up with a sane package list for SOHO that can fit on a 700
mb CD. I think taking out all of xfce its depends and a lot of fonts is a
start then see how much gnome we really need for the remaining gtk apps we
use is a start. MOE's new installer is based on a package install so no more
bulks which means we will have to examine our vl specific packages
 and maybe create some new ones to accomodate this change (which i think is
good in the long run) Again thanks to all for taking time out of your busy
lives to get this task accomplished!!!!

Cheers, Vec Robert Lange vec...@ya...
