Thanks for the hint with the constant size, I didn't know that and the check_rpmsrate script! The rest is already done, but I didn't mention that. I created a new group in compssUsers.pl called PLF (below LSB) and a corresponding entry in rpmsrate (with the packages I posted in my fist email). The only things I don't know are the numbers in rpmsrate for the packages (from 1 to 5). It seems that 5 is for "Packed is selected by default" but the others...? I did not find any hint in qa.mandivalinux.com/wiki @javier give me a list of the RPMS from "non-free cooker" and I will see what I can do (wifi's, hsfmodems,...what else?) @Raphaël kernel-source is excluded, only kernel-source-stripped is included Regards Stefan _______________________________________________ PLF-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.zarb.org/mailman/listinfo/plf-discuss
