I actually started with the restructuring of the packages/sis/distro
directory. It now clearly shows the wealth of things we support and it is easy
to split away things you don't need.
distro/
fc2-i386
fc3-i386
mdk10-i386
rhel3-i386
rhel3-ia64
rhel3-x86_64
rhel4-i386
rhel4-ia64
rhel4-x86_64
Do you agree with this structure? This is actually independent of the package
type (thinking about debian).
I believe this is one of the biggest advantages of OSCAR, it provides support
for quite a few distros and architectures.
Probably the build process needs to be changed somehow to ensure that the
SRPMs build for all architectures and that the RPMs have the latest versions
for all distr-arch combinations.
Regards,
Erich
