I've still not looked at AutoRPM in detail, but because it's an RPM
frontend and we still need such a thing since a longer time, we
definitely should try it out for OpenPKG. Can you provide us an OpenPKG
package for "autorpm" which contains a reasonable pre-configuration for
OpenPKG in order to let us play a little but in-depth with AutoRPM in
conjunction with OpenPKG?
