I would consider such a case a recommendation and not a requirement. Tong uses a separate -data package as an example of how it could be done. However, if upstream provides a separate archive for the game data, then it must be packaged separately. If deltarpm becomes a standard tool then this will all become a moot point. You might want to poke upstream and see if they are willing to archive the data separate from the binary. > Shouldn't the -data package thus be in a seperate spec? It should, but that would mean that two specs require the same tarball. I'm not sure what implications this has on the build system. - --Mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFECdZXDeYlPfs40g8RAohQAJ9VybZ2a4i78F29sOcAYwtCyz4uAwCcDAxu PaSwWfAUWjJmV6bsD9Uakpc= =wpa7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
