To say the truth, i'm not even aware of the differences between RPM v3 and v4 :-) I've used both of them (cooker and 7.2) without noticing any change... > Hmm, the easiest thing might be, to get various current RPM rpm-packages > from > the distributions you're thinking about, and "installing" them with the > help of > rpmcpio <file> | cpio -id > and then comparing what comes out. In fact, i would like to maintain my own set of java packages for Mandrake in collaboration with a guy using redhat. As there isn't any arch-dependant optimisation involved, i was asking what i need to be really careful with before copying a specfile. Actually, i'm thinking of name (the final mdk), FHS, and specific macros (i don't know if there is a list available). Is there anything i forgot ? -- Guillaume Rousse Murphy's law : If anything can go wrong, it will. O'Tool's commentary : Murphy was an optimist.
