[Peeweelinux] Creating packages for PeeWeeLinux

[peeweelinux@adis.on.ca]

Me Too.

The ability to pull in a (an?) source rpm that contains tools that you 
need, and have it rebuild with little to no effort is a very attractive 
feature in peewee.
Not to say that it can't be done with tarballs and shell scripts, it just 
seems to me that all the extra work of creating source 
maintenance/compilation scripts would be a waste of time when rpm is doing 
the job nicely as it is :) (IMHO)

Kind Regards, 

Delaney.

I second that.  I've pulled in several rpm's from others to use on our
peewee project and it was very easy to do it that way.
