In the Java/JPackage world we use *-bootstrap as package name for such kind of packages, e.g.: antlr-bootstrap.rpm, ecj-bootstrap.rpm, xerces-j2-bootstrap.rpm, xml-commons-apis-bootstrap.rpm, xml-commons-resolver-bootstrap.rpm, xml-commons-which-bootstrap.rpm Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany AG Nuernberg, HRB 16746, GF: Markus Rex - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Providing a rpmlint with minimal dependencies to minimize build dependencies. I hope you're not protesting that we upload packages only interesting inside autobuild to the public.

Absolutely not ;-) I was just mentioning that they obviously not only live in autobuild and I wondered if it was intentionally or not but even better if it is.
