Actually, my packages don't work anymore since RC5 due to the 
automake change.  Under 9.2 and 10.0 for some reason instead of 
producing lib.gb.*.so the shared library files are created as 
just lib.gb.*.  I think that I found a workaround before xmas 
but I left my work on a client's machine and forgot to copy it 
home, so I can't verify this till tomorrow.

According to their changelog, they switched to your spec file a 
few versions back.

Obviously they screwed something up because I can't even build 
the latest cooker packages on 10.1, but I don't have a cooker 
box to see if they compile there...

Make a post to the cooker list saying "The following packages are 
deprecated and should be removed: ..." and CC 
lenny at ...556..., if I remember right.
