That file would be most likely be rejected in Mandriva too, for not following the guidelines. Compare with the Mandriva equivalent of the same file: http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi- bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/git/current/SPECS/git.spec?revision=538411&view=markup I'm sorry, but I don't know .spec files to be really cross-distro. It's something you can base on and adapt to your distro. At the very *least*, package names differ from distro to disto. Therefore, all the Requires and BuildRequires rules are distro-specific. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago (AT) macieira.info - thiago (AT) kde.org Senior Product Manager - Nokia, Qt Development Frameworks PGP/GPG: 0x6EF45358; fingerprint: E067 918B B660 DBD1 105C 966C 33F5 F005 6EF4 5358
