packaging files in CVS

[Gregory Leblanc <gleblanc linuxweasel com>]

ok, so I've been promising this for a long time, and I'm just now
getting around to it.  The question at hand is this, "Do we want to keep
packaging files (RPM's .spec files, dpkg's debian/ directories, and so
on) in the CVS repository with their respective module, or not?"

I tend to think that CVS -is- the right location for them, but I'm not
all knowing, so I'm asking everybody for thoughts.  In order to make my
point better, I've taken 1 particular module, and hacked on it quite a
bit, in order to show what sort of integration is possible because the
.spec file is in CVS.  The module I used is gnome-core, because the
maintainer just wants a working spec file, and said I could do whatever
else I wanted to to it.  Here's gnome-core.spec.in

%description
GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment) is a user-friendly
set of applications and desktop tools to be used in conjunction with a
window manager for the X Window System.  GNOME is similar in purpose and
scope to CDE and KDE, but GNOME is based completely on free
software.  The gnome-core package includes the basic programs and
libraries that are needed to install GNOME.

You should install the gnome-core package if you would like to use the
GNOME desktop environment.  You'll also need to install the gnome-libs
package.  If you would like to develop GNOME applications, you'll also
need to install gnome-libs-devel.  If you want to use linuxconf with a
GNOME front end, you'll also need to install the gnome-linuxconf
package.

===END gnome-core.spec.in===

I know, that's pretty big, and not everything that's been done is clear.
I'll reply to this message with some explanations in a minute, but
first, here's a relavent snippit of configure.in, since these two files
go hand-in-hand.  


===BEGIN configure.in snippit===
dnl If you add a version number here, you *must* add an AC_SUBST line
for
dnl it too, or it will never make it into the spec file!

GTK_REQUIRED=1.3.1
GDK_PIXBUF_REQUIRED=1.3.1
LIBGLADE_REQUIRED=0.16
LIBGNOME_REQUIRED=1.96.0
LIBGNOME1COMPAT_REQUIRED=1.96.0
LIBGNOMEUI_REQUIRED=1.96.0
ORBIT_REQUIRED=2.3.91
XML_REQUIRED=2.2.8
LIBCAPPLET_REQUIRED=1.4.0
SCROLLKEEPER_REQUIRED=0.1.4

===END configure.in snippit==

Groovy, huh?
