I don't have any rights to decide but this pattern looks very good to me :)
I'm curious how do you want to pack other tarballs? When I first saw
this → http://xorg.freedesktop.org/X11R7.0-RC0/everything/ I was a bit
shocked ;-O
Do you plan to have each bz2 archive in its own src.rpm or make
packages using this names → http://xorg.freedesktop.org/X11R7.0-RC0/
For example:
xorg-x11-app
xorg-x11-data
xorg-x11-doc
xorg-x11-font
xorg-x11-lib, etc.
First solution gives more flexibility to the end user - (s)he can
install only necessary pacakges. The only disadvantage of this proposal
I can see right now may be upgrade process from FC4 to FC5. It may take
some time to write proper Provides/Obsoletes in spec files so yum could
handle upgrade without a problem.
Regards,
Dawid
