Hi Ian,
I've built an RPM for a-a-p and started the process to try and get in included in to Mandriva.
I would like to do the same for openSUSE. I think I would need: - a source rpm - an idea on how much a-a-p is used so I convince the maintainers to include the package
I can't download from mandriva incoming. I would like to have the source rpm so I can try if it works on SUSE 10.0 out of the box.
Here is the source RPM.
Thanks. I'm also sending this reply to the opensuse-packaging
mailing list. Therefor I also attached your original spec file
and do I need some advertising:
A-A-P makes it easy to locate, download, build and install software.
It also supports browsing source code, developing programs, managing
different versions and distribution of software and documentation.
This means that A-A-P is useful both for users and for developers.

A-A-P is created by vim creator Bram Moolenaar.
I installed it on SUSE 10.0:
--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------
rpm -Uvh a-a-p-1.079-1mdk.src.rpm
1:a-a-p warning: user ian does not exist - using root
warning: group ian does not exist - using root
warning: user ian does not exist - using root
warning: group ian does not exist - using root
########################################### [100%]
--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------
So the spec file needs to be adjusted so it will be installed as
user root without warnings.
Installing the src.rpm gives a dependancy problem:
--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------
rpmbuild --rebuild /home/marsman/projects/aap/a-a-p-1.07
Installing /home/marsman/projects/aap/a-a-p-1.079-1mdk.src.rpm

error: Failed build dependencies:
libpython-devel is needed by a-a-p-1.079-1mdk
--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------
This looks like an inconsistency in the naming of a package,
on SUSE 10.0 I have:
--------------8<--------------8<--------------8<--------------
