Re: [Gnu-arch-users] fedora core 2 will include subversion (and not gnu arch)

[Angles Puglisi]

I've made rpms of arch for a long time now, for my own use. tla arch is now
very easy to package for rpm, very standard, there is no issue with this. For
my own purposes I also made an rpm of the octopy GUI tool. These are a little
dated, but for my examples see:

www.dudex.net/rpms/tla-1.1.spec
www.dudex.net/rpms/tla-1.1-aap1.i686.rpm
www.dudex.net/rpms/tla-1.1-aap1.src.rpm

www.dudex.net/rpms/octopy.spec
www.dudex.net/rpms/octopy-20031204-2.noarch.rpm
www.dudex.net/rpms/octopy-20031204-2.src.rpm
