This could even be used inside of a corporate or similar setting, where packages could be downloaded elsewhere (across the network) at will. > Now that we're going to use the "Tag: <value>" format, don't we > need something like autospec or dpkg-gencontrol for package > developers to use? I'd like to keep it simple, myself. Having built a few (few....) RPMs, I can say that the full *.spec file is definitely overkill for LEAF.... :-) I've never used (or heard of) autospec, so I can't say what that is. _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
