upcoming mach 0.4.3 release

[Thomas Vander Stichele]

Hi,

If you're not interested in mach development or pedantic naming issues
then please delete and skip to the next mail.


The upcoming 0.4.3 release of mach will finally have Fedora Core 1
building support.  It will also have n/v/r parsing based on the build
options (since, for example, Matthias Saou used some variables to
construct the Source tags).

There was support added to CVS by some others.  I changed some things
though, one of which is the basename for the distribution, which is why
I'm mailing.  I've changed it to fedoracore-1-i386.  Compare this to
(for rh9) redhat-9-i386.

Also, I had asked Matthias to symlink his RPMS.core to RPMS.os to be in
line with fedora.us, though I've been told fedora.us might change
themselves from RPMS.os to RPMS.core; this allows people to choose to
get Fedora Core RPMS from either freshrpms or fedora.us (Since at work
we have a freshrpms local mirror, I'm forced to using that one :))

Since the actual distro released is Fedora Core 1, however, and I'm
assuming there might be releases of other sets (say, Fedora Freeworld 1)
which might have another base, I wanted to make it explicit that this is
fedoracore and not fedora.

I could be persuaded to change this before the release, but I want to
make sure people understand why I chose this for now and that I don't
intend to change it anymore after the release...
