That the extra effort that Mike A. Harris went through, which as far as I know helped *no one*, only inconvenienced a small percentage of users? And so that makes it worthwhile? By this logic it would be worthwhile to start putting spelling errors in man pages just because it's not much effort, and although it will benefit no one, only a few people will probably notice. I'm not trying to be flippant here. I'm just trying to express the age old adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", which I guess no one else believes applies in this situation. > So perhaps you can just start with the existing spec file and limit the > files that your RPM contains.

So once again, to build these handful of very small programs one would have to download an entire X11 distribution (hundreds of megabytes?) and build the whole thing? Does that even make sense? Look, I'm not averse to joining the extras mailing list and developing my own RPM if that's what has to happen, but it would be really nice to get a good reason why all of that effort has to be put forth by me and all of the users who ever want to use these programs, rather than just following a more logical path when it comes to modularizing these programs into their own RPM at the time that the base software on which the RPMs are based is organized the same way.
