Oh, right - I forgot about djb's 'brilliance' when it comes to
licensing. Sorry, my bad.
We basically put src.rpm files that are the original
source + patches + a script to build the customized versions we use.
On the other hand, wouldn't it be possible to package stuff as
sources with executing scripts that would patch, compile, etc...
under yum, or is that beyond it's capabilities and functionality?
