Before I reinvent the wheel.... There was a request for peazip, and what I'm thinking about doing is to write a script called "repobuild". This script would pull the .spec and source files from mgarepo and then build and install an RPM package.
The use case for this is: 1) so that people who have a Mageia 3 install, can do beta testing on a few packages without messing up their current installation. (i.e. if you want a cinnamon environment now) 2) so that we can keep doing development while we are in the middle of a release freeze 3) so that people can get packages from cauldron without waiting for a release cycle. If they are full beta testers they'd install cauldron, but the people that I'm thinking of would just want to run one or two new packages on top of the latest Mageia 4) so that there is an easy way of doing a rollback if cauldron breaks something Now before I start on this, is there any wheel reinvention here. I'm looking to just wrap mageia repo, so that someone can do sudo repoinstall peazip and then come back in a few hours, and have peazip there.
