Re: two questions

[Hiren Patel <patelhn telkom co za>]

i would just add a tag onto the name of the custom packages i build.

%define company foo

Name: dog_%{company}

(or something to that effect)



i find
rpm -q -g Applications/Databases 
works for me, but
rpm -q -g 'Applications/*'
does not.

does rpm -q -g foo/bar
work for you?
