I’ve built my templates from scratch with additional software I know I was going to use later (vim, emacs, flex, make, bison, glibc-devel, etc.) We could just create a meta-package that contains the necessary repositories and dependencies, and require those to be installed, to satisfy the AFS deps, until the AFS community gets aligned with the distros and a distro packager takes on the task of including AFS as an installable package in the core repositories. _______________________________________________ EFS-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.openefs.org/mailman/listinfo/efs-dev
