Yes, unless you want the package to go to "Misc", which is wrong. But I don't see any reason to hide anything. Just sdesc it as "Sources for BLAH". It won't be installed unless the user specifically chooses it. Incidentally, I set up a scratch area: /sourceware/snapshot-tmp/cgf/yselkowitz You can make a copy of the release area there if you want to experiment with dependencies and genini. You'll have to make a temporary copy of genini in your home directory though first. And, that reminds me, for anyone who is following this thread: Please don't use your home directory on sourceware as a holding place for files. The home partition isn't that large and sourceware isn't supposed to be used for permanent storage. cgf
