Dissertation, schmissertation.  What, you were busy?  j/k

Seriously, I'd vouch for that... Jeff did get the requested changes taken care of. However, I too would vote that any RPM checked into CVS should have an associated SRPM along with it. The confusion here was caused by an error in not keeping them synchronized, not the mere availability of the SRPM, right? I'm 90% confident that Jeff would come through in time w/ any needed changes, but that doesn't seem like enough reason to make exception to the standard practice.
Mis dos pesos.

Well, I don't "need" it but I agree with Jason. In order to modify the code/SPEC the SPEC should be in CVS as any other rpm package distributed with OSCAR.

No one else will be; I'm the developer and maintainer. I have a separate CVS for env-switcher's source code and whatnot (env-switcher.sf.net). I only put output RPMs in OSCAR's CVS.


My main goal here is to avoid this kind of confusion again -- I knew that all that Ben needed was at the CVS HEAD in the RPMS directory. But he was looking in the SRPMS directory at an outdated SRPM (admittedly because I had not updated it because I was thinking that an SRPM wasn't needed because it's a noarch).

All things being equal, I would prefer to keep development control of env-switcher for the moment, and keep its development elsewhere. The specfile and 1.0.13 tarball are available from the env-switcher SF project page if anyone needs them. And I'm always open for patches / fixes -- ask jenos (granted, while I was working on my dissertation this past spring, I was a bit slow for some of things that jenos asked for, but I did eventually get them in there ;-).

If someone feels strongly about this, I can put an SRPM in there. It's just my [marginal] preference that we don't. Whatever the group decides.

I just want the minimal image stuff in CVS so that we can move forward! ;-)
