Dear all:

I just checked into SystemConfigurator SVN trunk (on
svn.systemimager.org) changes that basically removed the
auto-generated files MANIFEST and META.yml.  I have also updated the
Makefile.PL such that prepping for rpm and deb package creation will
have these files generated automatically.  To build RPMs, all you need
to do is:

  perl makefile.PL
  make rpm

While I have not tested under debian, I have updated the Makefile.PL
which should do the same thing for "make deb" -- Geoffroy, can you
please test it and perhaps update INSTALL when you get a chance?

The following is a good read regarding using MakeMaker:

http://groups.google.com/group/perl.module-authors/browse_thread/thread/9fa4f04ac25a3dbe/20e48f9d8c15a207?lnk=st&q=makefile.pl+meta.yml&rnum=8&hl=en#20e48f9d8c15a207

Please let me know if you encounter any issues.

Cheers,

Bernard
