Well, that might be an issue later on, once I have everything compiling on OBS. The .spec files on OBS have to be hacked up to support all the differences across distros, and I'm not sure the resulting spec file will "Just Work (TM)" on CentOS. It would be nice if I could get it to that stage though, since then I could just include the OBS spec file in the official release, and it would compile everywhere. > It would also be possible to get barry into RPMForge.

I'd much rather have a downstream maintainer that can be the point person for a particular distro. I don't think it's my place to become an official maintainer for all distros, but I'm more than happy to help people who already are such maintainers with Barry. > > Since CentOS has no opensync at all, maybe I can add those packages > > to OBS as well.

These are due to limitations in OBS (they don't have RPMForge there, for example) and limitations in specific distros (some distros just don't have libtar) and limitations on package versions (Debian doesn't have opensync 0.22 for example). So I basically have to touch all these dependencies anyway, it might just be simpler if I do it all once, and the users can benefit. :-) - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Barry-devel mailing list Barry-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/barry-devel
