Thanks to all those who responded. Its good RPM packaging will be standardized at some point. Some further questions : 1) Does "preWS" imply pre web services ? i.e. no java components and no RFT ? (Im referring to the mention of the fedora Globus packages mentioned above. 2) If RPMs will be standardized, what does it mean for the GPT packaging tookit ? Will it be removed ? thanks Arn
