Well, I have discussed this many times, but there are a number of spec

floating around, and most of them don't take upgrading (e.g. 4.2.3 to

be
willing to discuss what must be fixed, and contribute to fixing the spec
file
in svn.
I would love to discuss what needs to be fixed to get a good set of rpms
for
RHEL/centos/fedora. The problem is that many people want rpms for other
rpm
based distros that I have no experience with. I have seen many attempts in
the
past to maintain distro agnostic rpms with very limited success.
I have a SuSE spec file that is pretty close to what's provided in the
source tarball. I think I can get it to be backwards-compatible (I'm
guessing the original is for Red Hat distros) with various %if conditionals.
I'd be happy to work as part of a team of spec maintainers to get "the one
spec to rule them all". I don't have access to servers with other distros,
so I can only test on SuSE/SLES.
Cheers

I'd more than happy to throw my hat in the ring to assist with the
RHEL/Fedora side.
And on a sort-of related note, maybe we can package up popular
'additional' tests such as Oracle and MySQL so that everything is in
one spot
My 2 cents
