I don't care, as i can use any number of source archive in the rpm, and unpack them where i want before build. But to make package evolution easier, i would like to know now what system future vanilla release will use (res-rsa included or in distinct archive). > > > Now with the new problems...

Most distributions try to comply with FHS, which make precise assumption to where files should go: - read-only data in /usr/share/<soft> - read-write data in /var/lib/<soft> - normal binaries in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin - games binaries in /usr/games - etc... As it seems i'll have to make installation manually, there is no problem putting files into place. I just hope they will run with such configuration... -- Guillaume Rousse <rousse at ccr.jussieu.fr> GPG key http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/gpgkey.html
