OK. I understand.

But for me this creates a practical problem that I'd like to discuss here: 
I'm maintainer for a few simple RPM packages in the SpareMiNT repository. 
Once in a while I update these with newer versions. Now I don't want to 
update the mintlib files in my include and lib directories with CVS 
versions. I want to use the latest version that is available as stable 
SpareMiNT rpm package. Packages in the SpareMiNT repository should be 
buildable using libs that are available in that same repository.

And having two different mintlibs on my system is something I'm not 
looking forward to. Big changes in mintlib only occur once in a while but 
certainly not every day. Maybe mintlib package in SpareMiNT should be 
updated after every small but important change.

That would help me anyway.

Same story for gemlib and cflib.
