Or maybe some way to have one package state that it "masks" another package? Name: jonas-examples-compiled-by-gcj # Anyone tries to install 'jonas-examples', they get this # package instead. Masks: jonas-examples # we need the real jonas-examples, because we are *adding* # to it (binaries), without this line, this package would # just *replace* the masked one. Requires: jonas-examples %install install our additional binary stuff here -- Chris Hubick mailto:chris@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.hubick.com/
