Yeh, I remembered having the conversation, but not who with, so finding it in 
my email archive was a bit tricky. ;-)

Having just read the rest of the thread, I realise that I've stumbelled into 
an, er, discussion about the various merits of various spec files. 

I don't know the myth source, or compile process particularly well, so for the 
moment I'll base my specs (and diffs) on the atrpms ones as, at the moment 
they seem to be most widely used for the release versions. 

As my knowledge level increase, I'll probably start making my own mistakes 
instead of just copying other peoples ;-) 

Anyway, I'll post my diffs to the SuSE howto pages I've added to the wiki, and 
let anyone change/use them as they see fit.
