Hmm, well when I named these I just conformed to what had been done in the past by previous release managers. I don't think it really matters much. Obviously I'm not going to alter the release now, but I think for the next release I will do as you request. The Debian packages don't worry about this as the upstream tarball is renamed to: packagename_version.orig.tar.gz anyway, so it doesn't really matter! > - I can't launch odccm out of the box because odccm.conf is not being > installed.

Well, the odccm.conf file is simply installed into /etc/dbus-1/system.d/, so I'm guessing that directory is distribution-independent. > - It looks like libsynce installs into /usr/local/lib, which is not in > the default library path on Fedora.

Although the LFH mentions that it's up to the user[0], I believe all distros require their packages to install into /usr. This can be easily fixed by calling configure with "--prefix=/usr". I hope that answers a few questions! Regards, [0] http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/usr.html -- Jonny Lamb, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jonnylamb.com GPG: 0x2E039402
