[ptxdist] What is the difference in 'y' and 'm' in package selection?

[Christoph G. Baumann]

Hello,

what I was wondering recently was the difference between 'y' and 'm' when selecting packages with './ptxdist menuconfig'.
Is there any?


Regards,
Christoph

Yes, this is used for so called collections. This is mentioned here:

https://www.ptxdist.org/doc/ref_manual.html?highlight=collection#global-variables

For further info on how to use collections, you can consult `ptxdist help` or 
the mailinglist archive, or just ask here again.
