What am i supposed to do now?
Just rename the spec file? And all will be fine?

Figured, that SC is not used in Fedora, but probably in other distros.
Point taken.
SSC might conflict either, but googling "seasc" brings up my sf.net project
home as 2nd result, first is a username.

In conclusion, the next 2 steps are:
1) Rename all inside my scripts from sc to seasc.
2) Rename the specfile, allthuogh i'm modifying it before its usage
(over/write to ~/rpmbuild/SPEC/seasc.spec and appending changelog)

Does this sound good to go?
Or am i missing something i could do along the massiv renaming?

I'll be awaiting confirmation or additioninal tasks to this message, before
i actualy rename everything.. :(

Thank you.
