[Plplot-general] New Mandrake RPMS available

[Brian D. W. <bdw...@ph...>]

Hi Folks,
	I've updated the previous version of my Mandrake 9.2
spec file (attached) to work with Rafael's latest 12/27 CVS tarball. This 
time no patches are needed :) (as long as linuxvga is disabled). 
The file installation locations work fine using DESTDIR during the 
packaging "make install" step.
The rpm list is 

libplplot9-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm
libplplot9-devel-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm
libplplot9-driver-gd-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm
libplplot9-driver-gnome-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm
libplplot9-drivers-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm
libplplot9-java-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm
libplplot9-static-devel-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm
libplplot9-tcltk-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm
libplplot9-tcltk-devel-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm
libplplot9-tcltk-static-devel-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm
libplplot-octave-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm
libplplot-python-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm
plplot-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm
plplot-tcltk-5.2.1.cvs.20031227-1mdk.i586.rpm

I'd appreciate any more comments about the files distribution, package 
naming, etc. I've tried to use Mandrake's conventions as per their RPM-HOWTO.
I suspect the same spec file would work for other RPM based distributions 
with minor modifications. 

For now the binary rpms can be downloaded by ftp from:
ftp://keck.ucsf.edu/pub/urpmi/Mandrake/9.2/RPMS

or using urpmi with the medium:
urpmi.addmedia bdw_contrib_i586_9.2
ftp://keck.ucsf.edu/pub/urpmi/Mandrake/9.2/RPMS with ./hdlist.cz

The source rpm is in ftp://keck.ucsf.edu/pub/urpmi/Mandrake/9.2/SRPMS

After getting the blessing of the plplot-developers I'd like to submit 
this to Mandrake's Cooker.

Cheers,
Brian

P.S. If you'd like to rebuild the rpms, I've
packaged libcd (cgmdraw) and repackaged tcl/tk/itcl
from Mandrake to add the needed development files.
You can get these from the above ftp/urpmi site as

cd-1.3-1mdk.i586.rpm
libcd1-devel-1.3-1mdk.i586.rpm
expect-8.4.2-3mdk.i586.rpm
itcl-8.4.2-3mdk.i586.rpm
tcl-8.4.2-3mdk.i586.rpm
tcllib-8.4.2-3mdk.i586.rpm
tclx-8.4.2-3mdk.i586.rpm
tk-8.4.2-3mdk.i586.rpm
