Universal package specification

[Mikhail Gusarov]

Twas brillig at 23:13:54 27.11.2009 UTC+02 when e.gorodinsky at gmail.com did gyre and gimble:

 EG> One of the benefits of using it instead of a spec file is that ISVs
 EG> that deliver proprietary software such as skype or nero will be
 EG> able to package their software in this package format with every
 EG> distribution benefiting from it.

(1)

 EG> Of course, in order to support this format existing package formats
 EG> need to be changed to provide extended dependency information.

(2)

(1) + (2) => forget it. It's the problem of developers of proprietary
software.
