honestly this is not intended as an offence, far be from it, but there are established standards and policies for packaging, which you are not to reinvent, override or outsmart, but to follow. opensuse has some nice documentation on packaging at http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging, especially for the currently relevant topic of libraries at http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Shared_Library_Packaging_Policy note it says "packaging policy", not "packaging suggestions". proper packaging is much more complicated and tricky business than most of you can even begin to imagine, and it most certainly isn't just "lets shovel a metric shitload of files into an rpm (or deb, or anything else, for that matter) container and call it a day". as things stand now, as far as i can tell (this is a long shot, and a premature statement from my side, but hey) the upstream build system and upstream procedures aren't even able to support proper packaging. again, do not take this the wrong way, but it really is a much more complicated matter than most of you seem to think. -- [-] mkdir /nonexistent _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
