I'm not being arrogant - just curious and maybe > stupid :-) the problem is autofoo generates the .spec from the .spec.in - BUT you want to ship a .spec in the tarball so u can do rpm -ta file.tar.gz - BUT you shouldn't ship pre-generated files in src tarballs... so at the time we opted for "do it by hand". thus the hassle. at the time though we only have 3 or 4 things to package. now we have 20 or more... it may be time to fix the auto-generation of package info once and for all... but imho we need to fix it not just for .spec if we do... -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ra...@ra... 裸好多 ra...@de...
