Re: xemacs RPM packaging info files

SY> We have our own PMS. It may not be perfect, but it's the only SY> one that we need to support. Funny. I don't see an "xemacs-binary" package in PUI. I admit I have a personal interest: I'm getting sick of having aptitude (one of the Debian front-ends) download and install GNU Emacs every so often simply because I don't have a Debian package that provides "emacsen" installed (although I have 3 or more versions of XEmacs and one GNU Emacs available...). I'd also like to get rid of the Debian 3rd party elisp bullshit. I can't use Debian 3rd party packages when we don't provide them yet, because they often auto-infect the system or don't use standard interfaces. I imagine RPMs are just as bad. If we could create a single Debian generic-package which would download and install an XEmacs package, that would be too cool for words. As for "support", yes, I'd be willing to support the generic .deb. But there's plenty of stuff that we distribute as "contrib". If somebody wants to supply a skeleton RPM spec that works x-rpm-platform, I see no reason not to include it. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
