Re: [Linuxcoe-devel] Update on packaging

And here is the question of the day ;-)

Currently the autoconf.ac script makes checks on tools such as mkisofs,
perl modules, ...

The problem is that this should be rather done a run time than at build
time, because the machine on which you're building the tool may be
different from the machine you want to install it on.

Typically in my VMs, I do not have mkisofs, nor perl-CGI for the moment.
So should I add them to make the build process happy (even if I don't
think it's the right thing to do, I'll do it if that's the concensus),
or should I work on a patch to move those checks at run time or/and in
dependencies either with .spec requires, or the same for deb.

What is your take on this one ?

FYI, I have generated a lot of RPMS today, available at
ftp://ftp.project-builder.org , except that the main one,
linuxcoe-sd-base is missing :-(
