this sounds very reasonable!

Those packages come from SUSE and RedHat, therefore we have no influence on what they provide :-( > IMHO having the package distro dependent is the correct way to go > since this will allow correct dependency resolution. It is a pity > that RPMs generated in that case cannot be used cross-distro. Or: use bittorrent-compat-suse-1.0-1.src.rpm, which we have checked into OSCAR trunk, anyway. It requires BitTorrent and provides bittorrent. That should actually work right now.
