I've uploaded the amiwm package to
ftp://ftp.linux-mandrake.com/incoming/amiwm*.rpm

Due to license stuff, I've included also the original
amiwm.tar.gz archive as %doc in the .i586 package. Maybe with
permission of the amiwm author we can remove it.

It's the Amiga Window Manager, so to increase the list
of Window Managers which can be choosen in Mandrake
at kdm or gdm screen (there is still the mlvwm, Mac Like
window manager, I'm currently packaging that wm).

To add to the session types, add the following
line to /etc/X11/Xsession (it's in XFree package, so
would be to recompile the whole package to get it included
by default in mandrake) after ;; of Icewm):

        Amiwm)
        exec /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/amiwm/Xinitrc
        ;;

I've another question.
If someone from Mandrake team is reading, please could
tell me where to upload/post/send bug report or bug fixes for existing
Mandrake packages, if they are not so important to send
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for instance minor bugs or bugs in
documentation and so on)?

Another question. I've downloaded the 'build' script from ftp.linux-com/pub/bero.
It replaces each time 'optflags' in /etc/rpmrc or ~/.rpmrc /usr/lib/rpmrc
during package building.
Wouldn't be possible to create many rpmrc (eg. ~/.rpmrc-p5, ~/.rpmrc-p6,
~/.rpmrc-k6, etc.) files each one containing the i586/K6 etc. specific options,
and the using rpm --rcfile ~/.rpmrc-p5 on building? Under rpm 2.5
I always used this way (providing also rpmfilename so that package
were built into i586/package.i586.rpm). In rpm 3.0 the "rpmfilename" is gone
into /usr/lib/rpm/macros (in %_rpmfilename), but I think there
is a way to have customized 'macro' files for each .rpmrc-<arch> file.
Another question. Isn't "dangerous" to have -ffast-math optimization enabled
for all packages? On many math packages it's certain dangerous to have it enabled
as it does ipotesis on arguments of certain math functions.

Best regards.
