Is it being moved to extra?
I'd guess it's certainly possible, and it's probably going to get done faster
if you submit it. ;-) Creating an Extras package from a Core subpackage is
actually pretty easy, take the Core specfile, disable the build of everything
you don't need built for that subpackage, add rm commands for everything else,
and use just the file list of the former subpackage.
I see the use of rm commands all the time in spec files. Can anyone
explain why this is used instead of the %exclude directive? Not
important, just curious because excluding files seems like a much safer
and elegant solution.
