This is exactly how I intend to structure my "notcurses-minimal" for Debian, so it oughtn't be much extra work, excellent: https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/issues/339 Alright, I'll look into this. BTW, while I've read the Packaging Guidelines at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/, there seem to be some operational details that I'm missing. For instance, it seems I need file a bug once I have my source and binary RPMs -- where can I find details on the necessary information in that bug? Sorry if I've overlooked it :/. -- nick black -=- https://www.nick-black.com to make an apple pie from scratch, you need first invent a universe. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
