 Hello,
 I wonder if there is an archive of spec-files for "downloadable"
 software which is not distributable.
 
 My example is the jdk from SUN, for which I have built such
 a spec file, but since the downloaded tar-archives are only
 for private use, I cannot distribute the RPM-archives, but
 surely the spec file, so everyone can download the tars
 and build the RPMs on their own.
 
 It would help, if there was an archive to put this (an other) spec-file
 into, wouldn't it?

Just to let you know: it is include in the 7.1 commercial CD's.

[Cooker] Spec-files archive for commercial software?

2000-06-02 Thread David Aspinall

I really like Jürgen's suggestion, and if there isn't such an archive
already it would be nice to make one for Linux Mandrake.

I have some spec files for other "downloadable" packages I 
could contribute.

It's maybe not to Mandrakesoft to create some archive, it doesn't promote
free software.

Maybe this would be a good project for
MandrakeUser.org to take on.  Or for someone to
contribe to them.

Just a thought.

I would be extremely happy to put those spec files on my site for people
to download and use.  Since I'm not "officially" a part of MandrakeSoft, I
have no qualms about it.
