[SOLVED] Building 'multipackage' package

Guys,

Well, this subject is clear as mud...

In fact, I'm looking forward packaging PIKT (http://pikt.org).
(PIKT is cool stuff btw !)

PIKT is a client/server tool that will help you distribute system configurations and many other things over a range of machines.
Thus, there is a "server" part, and a "client" part and I would like to create two packages from source.

Should I create two separate PKGBUILD files or is there a way to do it directly, like '%package server' and '%package client' in RH SPEC files ?

Thanks for your help,

M

Re: [SOLVED] Building 'multipackage' package

Does the client and the server parts come from one or two different sources ? if they come from different sources, you create two PKGBUILDs. If they are built from only one source, you can create a split PKGBUILD. See the mesa PKGBUILD, it can help you create one.

Yes, they're built from the same source.
I'll check the split PKGBUILD.

Thanks for the *lightning* fast answer !
