Yes, I am involved with a distro, but the viewpoint comes rather from my position as maintainer of, for example, the libHX project, where I had shipped a spec in its tarball up until I noticed all the distros pretty much seemed to ignore it. >And let's see whose spec is older and who did write it from scrath again... >My first x2go packages date back to 2008 and were actually not written >from scratch but based on ALT Linux packages that were already there. >And yours? There was no spec inside nx-libs.tar.gz, so I can in good faith claim "there was none" :-) And since the nx-libs compile procedure seems to change every other release, it would be out of date rather soon. >>>- it's kind of hard to provide universal rpm packages, as the naming >>>shema of libraries and other needed packages does vary quite a lot >> >> For libraries, it is not a problem, because their names are not used >> at all, but RPM-ELF dependencies.
