Lets take a simple application and split it into 3 rpms. One for the application, one for the library and one for the development libraries because thats the Mandrake way of doing things. Makes perfect sense to me. Im not telling anyone how to package anything. I was asking a question as to why simple applications are being split into multiple rpms. I wanted to know why. If it makes it easier on the packagers when rebuilding for a different arch then its a good thing. If it was being done simply because it was the Mandrake way of doing things then it doesnt make sense. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] texstar]$ ls 9.2/rpms/ > hpijs-1.4.1-1tex.i586.rpm > kdemoreartwork-plastik-0.3.7-2tex.i586.rpm > kdemoreartwork-plastik-0.3.7-2tex.i586.rpm > > How can you make 9.2 rpms ?

I know Laurent isnt going to make any major revisions to the kde contained in RC-2 updated cooker so whatever is duplicated if any will be removed from the ibiblio directory and a hdlist will be generated following some kind of announcement on pclo once 9.2 is released.
