Re: Packaging Multiple RPMs

["znsaint" <znsaint attbi com>]

Hi,

After seeing the response of 'GENIAL' to the previous message, I assumed
that this was a well-known software package that bundles multiple RPMs into
a single package.  I am interested in acquiring an example of this, although
after searching Google, AltaVista, and SourceForge I was not able to come up
with any reasonable results that located this software.

If GENIAL is in fact a software package that bundles multiple RPMs, would
someone be able to point me to a location where I can acquire it?

Thank you in advance.
