It looks as though there's a consensus developed around how packages should be named. Being fairly new to rpm building, I have not understood all the details of the discussions around how best to implement those conventions. Might it be possible for one of you who does understand it to supplement the naming guidelines with a skeleton .spec file that illustrates how to do it, along with whatever is required of the surrounding build system? -- Scott Lawrence Consulting Engineer Pingtel Corp. http://www.pingtel.com/ +1.781.938.5306 x162
