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. Cipri
