Re: rpm distribution

[Paul E. Johnson]

Since egcs-objc is in the RedHat distribution, I don't feel a need to
distribute it.  People have it on CD or can get it where they got their
RPMS.  I added the requirement into the RPM so that new users won't be
able to install swarm unless they also get egcs-objc.  If I were to
begin redistributing all the rpms that some people may not have
installed, I'd have to distribute xpm, xpm-devel, XFree86-devel, tcl/tk,
and so forth.
