Subpackage Descriptions
set This is the marco:std metapackage. It pulls in all subpackages of marco:std.
primary Marco is a fork of GNOME's Metacity. It is described as a "boring window manager for the adult in you". While it strives for good compliance with the EWMH window manager standard, Marco tries to stand back as much as possible. It leaves all the user-facing things to the actual desktop environment and thus is not of too much use on its own.
dev This is the developer subpackage of the marco:std port. It may contain headers, pc files, static and PIC libraries and SO links.
man This is the man page subpackage of the marco:std port.
nls This is the native language support subpackage of the marco:std port.
Configuration Switches (platform-specific settings discarded)
