Oh, great ! so now my system works directly, and I do not have any
warning/error message anymore:

# urpmi /usr/src/svn/LinuxCOE/build/RPMS/noarch/linuxcoe-sd-docs-devel-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm /usr/src/svn/LinuxCOE/build/RPMS/noarch/linuxcoe-sd-base-devel-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm

installing linuxcoe-sd-base-devel-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm linuxcoe-sd-docs-devel-1.mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm from /usr/src/svn/LinuxCOE/build/RPMS/noarch

      2/2: linuxcoe-sd-docs #################################################################################

I'm already happy with that ;-)
More tests tomorrow to see if it really works. (I need to configure the
apache server now).

The remaining question I have is for the name of the directories.
Currently by default they are named /var/log/linuxcoe-sd-base, ...
/var/www/linuxcoe-sd-base. I wonder whether it would be cleaner to call
those just /var/www/linuxcoe-sd (or even /var/www/linuxcoe) for more
clarity on the admin side, and as all packages will add content below.
May be solved later on BTW.

I just looked today at the fedora one to see what was needed and what
had to be generated. If you want I can take a closer look at that based
on the existing script for ideas, and write a perl script that creates
what is required for LinuxCOE based on a mirrored centos setup.

On that one, if you want, I can copy your current content under pbconf,
make the adaptations, and you could then test it, once you have a
working pb on your side ;-)

I'm still not done with all my rpm VMs setup, so have not yet a .deb for pb
itself. Will come soon I hope.

Bruno.
