OK.

OK.

OK.

Can someone else comment on whether that is likely to cause problems?
I'm not well versed in the ways of the RPM!

That's no problem - we have a couple of variations of the spec files for
different Oss already so another one can be added.

That said, it would be good to get one all-knowing all-purpose spec
file. Does anyone know if that's do-able? Perhaps it could be
autogenerated as part of the build process?

No problem there either. Can I get some additional opinions thouogh
before I apply these changes?

I not an experienced at generating rpms but I do know it is possible to test
for the various OSs. You can see more on this at www.rpm.org in the docs
section.

Ofcourse. Just wanted to contribute this so others may also use pgadmin.

Thanks for the feedback,
