Just to state something explicitly that others have mentioned in passing: you do not have to do this by hand, RPM provides extensive support for this kind of scenario. Maximum RPM is still the best doc I know of for this kind of stuff: http://ftp.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-specref-macros.html Specifically, you'll want to look at -b and -a, and the examples of how each is used. As others have said, this isn't *necessarily* "a problem" and there are several cases of existing packages that do it, but without further details, no-one can give you an informed opinion on whether it makes sense to do things this way in your specific case. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
