Is there any idea/notes on what exactly will be contained in SUMMARY and the format of such items? Nothing that is carved in stone. But things like for what architecture the package was compiled for, the package name and version, package description, dependency listing, come to mind. We should get this figured out so that stowfs development can move forward with implementing /stow/DEPENDENCIES. Also getting these SUMMARY files into GSC seems like one of the last things we need to get done to start building `complete' packages for GNU. Well, since we don't have a front end, such information won't be used. So we can still build 'complete' packages for GNU. The data stored in SUMMARY is really only useful to front-ends. _______________________________________________ gnu-system-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-system-discuss
