Is it possible to only handle the adobe-release* repositories instead
? Unless all thoses adobe packages are really broken ?
Nicolas (kwizart)
It was a long time since I looked into Adobe Reader... are you saying
there are already existing packages out there from Adobe?
If so, it does not fit that well into the lpf framework. One could
download the package, unpack it in %prep and rebuild it it %build and
%install - but doing this without adding value seems strange, and might
also cause legal concerns depending on the license.
OTOH such a recipe might e. g., generate more accurate dependencies if
upstream's are broken. Which, according to my *very* old Adobe
experiences would be as expected. In general, it makes a lot of sense
to treat an Ubuntu .deb package this way - this is what the spotify
package does.
