I might be able to find an English equivalent for that. Since I just need to host files,
would any of those file sites I mentioned before do the job? I know some of them place
limits on how many files/MB's you download within given period of time, so I don't
want to make it difficult to fetch the files.
I disagree with Hans. I would make two separate packages. I
still
don't know why upstream put them in the same tarball. They
are
different programs in every aspect: one is made in C and
the other in
python, they have different build systems and so on. There
is no
correlation between the two. I did ask upstream some time
ago about
releasing different tarball: one for fceux and the other
for gceux.
They told me they would have done so, but it seems they
forgot. I
think it is time someone else nag them :)
Based on my experience trying to package the two, I would have to agree with your logic in
making them separate packages. From everything I have read, sub-packages are meant for
when installed items from a single build need to be split up. These two however, have to
be built separately and are independent of one another. Plus one is noarch and the other
is arch specific. So when I do submit I will probably submit each separately.
I also agree that upstream needs to clean up their package a bit. I got it to build, but
like FCE Ultra, you have to manually setup the file install as scons won't accept
--prefix= unless upstream puts it in their scons buildfile. But once I get things going,
I'll definitely go bang on upstream's door and let them know.
I uploaded here the two wips SRPMs I did a long time ago.
Feel free to
use what you need.

Thanks! I'll check them out and so I can see if my .spec files are done correctly. I
tried to base the ones I have made off the FCE Utlra spec files, but I think some of the
standards have changed since those look like they were part of dribble originally. Thanks
again for the input!
