Yes. I'm having problems with the packaging of kdebase.

I'm finding that 'grep -v' doesn't seem to work as advertised.

        cat $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name} |grep -v '/bin/kdesud$' |grep -v '/
bin/kcheckpass$' |grep -v '/usr/share/config' |grep -v '/etc' |grep -v
'/usr/bin
$' |grep -v '/usr/lib$' |grep -v '/usr/share$' |grep -v '/usr$' |grep -v
'/usr/s
bin$' |grep -v '/usr/share$' |grep -v '/usr/bin/konsole_grantpty$' |grep -v
'/us
r/include' |grep -v '/usr/X11R6/lib$' |grep -v '/usr/X11R6$' |grep -v
'libccont\
.a' >$RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name}.tmp
        mv -f $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name}.tmp $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{na

That particular part of the spec file is not working properly.
I get duplicate entry packaging errors when %files is processing.

Any help on this would be appreciated :)

Franz Sirl has this built on a 2.0 box upgraded to latest rawhide
stuff, but I don't want to upgrade our development environment
just to release 2.2 KDE rpms.

There is a contrib/ direcetory right now.
I need to talk to our main mirrors about how to facilitate uploading.

Sounds good. Let's talk about this more once I find out about uploading, etc.
