Moving on. As suggested I am simply going to have to hack/kludge rpm and deb with a bunch of sed pre-processing of the respective spec, control and postinst to make it work.
These two divergent schemes put a large burden of effort on developers and documenters. Wish I could get deb and rpm folks in the same room and say: can you make this easier to do cross-platform work with both these package systems like linux filesystem standard? DEBIAN is roughly equivalent to SPECS: change to a common third like PACK. SOURCES is practically the same as the root of DEBIAN, change to a common scheme. Unify control file and spec header names they are practically the same thing. -- IV -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
