+1 from me.
I think the only technical issues stopping us are:
- layout to choose
- a method of getting the version number in the spec file.
(which would need to be part of the buildconf process I think)
the second is important because doing this we could simply allow us to
do something like:
rpmbuild --sign -ta <disttarfile>
I'm not sure if it makes a difference on which distribution it was
actually built on.. maybe the mandrake/redhat/suse guys have some
suggestions.
