Thank you very much for the information! Although i must confess i'm used to mach which doesn't install that much packages automatically within a buildroot, i think it's great there is (or will be) some standard endorsed by Red Hat which will be used by Fedora Core and Fedora Extras and maybe also by others like maybe Fedora Legacy.. this will make it easier to transfer a spec file from Fedora Core to Fedora Extras i guess. kind regards, Dries Verachtert
