my package is named according the name of the tar.bz2 my package is needed for a lot of packman packages, and we build only against packman and/or original SuSE packages, this is our policy. > Would it be possible to rename your package to 'cg' like the one in NON-OSS > so that more people may take advantage of your package? no, as a lot of my and other packman packages depends on my Cg package .. sorry, but this is a work I won't do. Especially a lot of games and graphic programs depend on this package, and I provide this package since my start as a packager for SuSE (formerly repository suser-oc2pus) with this name. Simply change the packagename in the build-service... > Many thanks, > Matt Williams > http://milliams.com have fun Toni _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list [email protected] http://212.112.227.138/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
