Hi RB, I really appreciate the spec file ... but it also creates a bit of a problem for me ;) Let me elaborate: I have stayed away from doing spec files, mostly because I can not ensure they are kept up to date. For that reason, nothing distro-specific is included in the "official source distribution". If I now include the spec, it may outdate over time plus people come and ask how to work with it, getting us probably down to distro-specific things. I am not sure we want this (or do we want it - I am open to change if there are folks in the community who can commit to support these things [aka "I can not" ;)]. Or is there any other place where such things could be placed (external RPM repositories come to my mind)? I would be more than happy to link to the relevant places. Again, I really value the contribution, I just do not know how to handle it best.
