I actually can't see anything in the rules that states you can't have multiple executables, but it is a requirement to pass through the rpmvalidator. If it's a requirement, I'm thinking it would be helpful to make this explicit in the FAQ (which is the closest thing I'm aware of to a stated set of rules). > That particular problem was solved for my case by writing a wrapper and > called either QML main or the main I wanted to use from Valhalla > (https://github.com/rinigus/osmscout-server-route/blob/master/src/harbour-osmscout-server-module-route.cpp#L19). Just so I'm clear, for your workaround you joined the two code bases at compile time? Unfortunately that won't work in my case, because I have my programme (C++) calling a Perl programme, which then calls another (C-complied) executable. It's possible using Perl would be reason enough to reject from Harbour, but one step at a time!

Ultimately, I agree it's much simpler to release through OpenRepos (I'm already doing this in fact), and I can appreciate the frustration for you of having to pull your app later. At least you achieved it, even f just temporarily.
