I can create an Apt repository for Conectiva Linux as well. I can even
suggest the package to be included there, but I can maintain them here if
they don't accept it... their packaging rules might be a little different
than other distributions, but I don't think it would be a problem to
maintain an specific specfile (they separate docs, libs, examples, etc. in
packages of their own, so that you can handle each part in a separated way
and have a system with less space used with things you don't need -- after
all, does anybody uses all the locales from glibc on their system? ;-))
