How do you handle complex packages with scriptlets, triggers, long and custom %build and %install sections, %check sections, non-automatic inter-dependencies, a growing number of patches, directory ownership, subpackages?

That's a killer criterion then, because it ought to be possible to discuss something without having to become its user. > It's no wonder the state of building RPMs hasn't changed in over 7 years. It has changed several times (just remember tools like Mach, Mock, Plague, and Koji, dist cvs plus Makefiles, dist git and fedpkg), and there will be more changes. The low-level tool rpmbuild is still being part of it, however. > Togo is not a tool that converts software for you. > > Togo is not a tool that produces multiple packages for various distros.
