[PD-dev] Re: rh/ccrma pd-extended rpm

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hmm, can't think of any scripts there that would be specifically  
helpful to the RedHat packaging.  If you haven't seen this stuff  
already, its probably helpful

(in CVS):
packages/linux_make
packages/redhat_rpm

(on the web)
http://puredata.org/docs/developer/Debian
http://puredata.org/docs/developer/build


It would be nice to have a RedHat port of scripts/debian/init.d/pd  
(it would go nicely in scripts/redhat/init.d/pd).

scripts/checkout-developer-layout.sh might make the CVS checkout a  
little easier for you.

Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a  
more direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in  
practice, it can change entire economies.     - Amy Smith
