I thought about how to maintain ressources to build a GRASS rpm
package for different GNU/Linux distribution. So far we have a
grass.spec for Mandrake into the CVS made by Markus. I announced a
specfile for Fedora 2 yesterday on this list. This specfile is based
on the same source as Markus grass.spec (basically coming from the
originally FreeGIS CD grass5.0.spec), but is slightly different.
This covers mainly

- package dependencies (I can assume for example, that gdal and proj
  are existent as packages, while this doesn't hold true for Mandrake)
- a special readline patch which is not necessary for Mandrake but
  for Fedora 2 (see [1]).

Therefor I suggest to add a rpm directory in the GRASS CVS
containing two directories: SPECS with different specfiles and
SOURCES containing all distributions specific patches. Thus people
who prepare packages for special distributions can easily maintain
there package.

Any comments?

Greetings,
