Your point is very good - but if I remember correctly, you can also run 'gdomap
-N'
and similar to get information on the DO clients registered on the network ...
that's *very* useful to normal users. :-)
The problem with installing things in ADMIN_TOOLS is that it's not normally
included in the user's path, unless they are an administrator. So, for
example, you wouldn't be able to use 'gdomap -N' as a normal user (simply
because it wouldn't be on your PATH); you would need to be root on a Unix
machine. I'm not sure if that's a desirable behaviour. :-/
So, personally, I'd just put everything from gnustep-core inside TOOLS,
including gdomap. But I agree that if we want to install something in
ADMIN_TOOLS, gdomap is the most natural choice. Maybe we should have two
tools, the 'server' gdomap, installed in ADMIN_TOOLS, and the 'client'
gdomap, installed in TOOLS ? Or keep what we have and leave it in TOOLS. :-)
Of course, I'm happy with other choices, it doesn't really matter that much. ;-)
Thanks
