Greg,
After reading all the recent mails on bundles and subpackages, I am
confused. Could you explain the difference between the bundles and
subpackages, and the relationship between bundles and packages? If I think
of bundles, I picture something like say, Auth + The complete set of
dependancies, or something else fun like say, Mail_IMAP + Net_IMAP, or maybe
even PEAR::Text_Wiki + CIAWEB::YAWP (Hi Paul!).
To me, right now, Bundles sound like a quick way to define a set of packages
that don't depend on each other, but can work together nicely. As such,
cross-channel connections would be nice to have, me thinks.
