I got this from solar: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
30 gpe-base |
| 24 |
8 gpe-games |
| 25 |
4 gpe-media |
| 26 |
9 gpe-misc |
| 27 |
2 gpe-net |
| 28 |
32 gpe-phone |
| 29 |
6 gpe-pim |
| 30 |
18 gpe-utils |
| 31 |
8 gpe-xsession |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Unless those tiny ones are going to be growing a lot, I'm not terribly |
| 34 |
convinced of this many new ones. |
