Hi,
If you're not interested in mach development or pedantic naming issues then please delete and skip to the next mail.
The upcoming 0.4.3 release of mach will finally have Fedora Core 1 building support. It will also have n/v/r parsing based on the build options (since, for example, Matthias Saou used some variables to construct the Source tags).
There was support added to CVS by some others. I changed some things though, one of which is the basename for the distribution, which is why I'm mailing. I've changed it to fedoracore-1-i386. Compare this to (for rh9) redhat-9-i386.
Also, I had asked Matthias to symlink his RPMS.core to RPMS.os to be in line with fedora.us, though I've been told fedora.us might change themselves from RPMS.os to RPMS.core; this allows people to choose to get Fedora Core RPMS from either freshrpms or fedora.us (Since at work we have a freshrpms local mirror, I'm forced to using that one :))
Since the actual distro released is Fedora Core 1, however, and I'm assuming there might be releases of other sets (say, Fedora Freeworld 1) which might have another base, I wanted to make it explicit that this is fedoracore and not fedora.
I could be persuaded to change this before the release, but I want to make sure people understand why I chose this for now and that I don't intend to change it anymore after the release...
Thomas
