Plus every time you update the SPEC, you should also increase the x ;-) I'm not sure if it's explicitly in the guidelines somewhere or not (haven't ever used this kind of thing myself), but you appear to generate subpackages based on some build time conditionals -- (at least IMHO) it's not a good approach. Do you really need these conditionals anyway? Why not just build all the subpackages that are worth building? Martin
