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.

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.

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!
