Re: [ydl-gen] rpms

Hi Atro:

It's been a very long time since I've heard from you.  Glad you are
still visiting and participating here.

By the way, thanks for your precision and clarity.  Thanks also Richard
for your contribution.  I'm working on multiple problems currently so
I'm going to have to return to this problem of mine at a different time.

Thanks for your efforts.

Sincerely, Derick.

An interesting definition of Open Source:

“Man should not consider his material possession his own, but as common
to all, so as to share them without hesitation when others are in need”
-- Thomas Aquinas 12th Century.
