small guide to my strange file/folder layout: there are a couple of folders: base - everything originally in RS6 base (build by Gordan) update - everything originally in RS6 update (build by Gordan) updates-testing - everything originally in RS6 updates-testing (build and signed by me) new - everything new in RS6.7 (build and signed by me) old - stuff that should have been replace by a newer version, but I could not get the newer version to build RPM-GPG-KEY-redsleeve-6-testing the public part of the testing signing key RS6.7_issuelog.html a log/guide to all the patches and errors I did/have seen. (this should be merged with the issues in base/update) for the new stuff I moved all the debuginfo to a separate debuginfo folder. for all the other folders debug info should already be somewhere else. for updates-testing and new there are folders with patches I did.
