RE: [linux-audio-user] MDK audio distro survey

Could you explain in more detail what would be the difference between a "generic" and a more distribution specialized rpm? For rpms I package myself for Planet CCRMA I create spec files that follows (as much as I can) RH conventions. Generic spec files, usually included in the packages themselves, are most of the time heavily revised and edited to match RH as well, and the same thing happens to spec files coming originally from other distributions. Regarding dynamic linking, I don't quite see what the problem might be. Maybe you are not aware that Planet CCRMA rpms currently come in three "flavors", 7.2, 7,3 and 8.0, each one being a separate repository. Each program has three versions of the binary rpm(s), one for each distro version, each one compiled under the proper version of the distribution, with all current updates. As long as RH itself does not break backwards compatibility within a given revision with its updates there should not be any problems whatsoever with dynamic linking. -- Fernando
