As a kind of shamefuly self-publicity, jpackage project used initially package-management-system independent xml software descriptors, that you could find in project CVS here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jpackage/xml-spec
As we produced initially different rpms for different Linux distributions, we produced them from the same stem. This could easily have been extended to other packaging system, with something as <soft> <description> [.. system independant software description .. ] </description> <rpm> [.. instruction for building rpm for this software .. ] </rpm> <deb> [.. instruction for building deb for this software.. ] </deb> <autoinst> [ .. instruction for building an auto-installable archive.. ] </autoinst> </soft> -- Guillaume Rousse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG key http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/gpgkey.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
