Re: [Ltib] Trouble adding new package in LTIB

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Vadim/James,

Thanks for the explanation, that's exactly right.

The FAQ is indeed in need of some TLC, unfortunately I don't have any
free time at the moment to look at it.

However, the message:

> > Cannot find spec file that contains the package name parted.
> > If necessary please give the whole spec file name (with the
> > .spec extension).

Should be enough of a hint to resolve this.  If anyone can come up with
alternate wording that is short but clearer, that might be a good change
to make


James: when you've done adding the package, maybe you could send it to
me/the list. 

Regards, Stuart
