That's brings me to another question: Will we ship /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/kmodtool in the package "rpm-build" or do we plan to ship it in a separate package and let rpm-build depend on it? I would prefer the latter -- this way updates would be a lot easier, especially now that the script and the standard is still quite new. -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
