Re: [Ltib] LTIB adduser best practice

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Arnaud,

I would favour updating skell.  If this would be the simplest and if I
understand correctly a generally desirable addition for all platforms.

BTW: would you consider submitting your work back to the list.

Also: why did you have to add glib/gtk+, these are already in LTIB?

Regards, Stuart
