I sent Jim mail off-list regarding one issue with the packaging here, but it appears that there's more problems that I missed. To save others, I'll send this one here. These packages, won't work as-is. This is because Jim's build magic (I assume) zaps the wrong path into sys.path, (the path of his workspace, rather than the path things will end up on the installed system). So: /brmnas/jw137282/ostest/sfwnv/proto/root_i386/usr/lib/meld Instead of: /usr/lib/meld If you want this stuff to work, you'll have to fix that in at least the meld script itself. I'll note that, beyond that, it still doesn't work for me on snv_84. I'm yet to figure out why, it may just be that I need to upgrade.
