Hi Kurt and to all... I'm fully aware of CVS and the others mentioned. Would it be outside the scope to include say an RPM.spec (fedora/suse) file and the Debian directory into the CVS source tree ? or maybe create a second CVS source to contain such ? -- Scott Evans sc...@vk7hse.hobby-site.org

Hosting a debian/ tree in CVS is a good idea. I do that with several of my other projects. But don't include it in the tar.gz ... I've learned that this makes life a little difficult for Debian developers, since their packaging patch relative to the tar.gz has a removal of the upstream packaging
