I asked about srpms at the GDB and Markus does not really understand
what this is wanted for as the ETICS build system would be required to
do anything with the source. There are too many dependencies. They can
produce the tarballs but he says these will be largely useless.
Given that I have not really understood the details about why you need
the srpms (the source is available in CVS) and how you would use them,
please can you provide more information that I can pass along.
Many thanks,
Jeremy
