Another thing I forgot to mention is that I go the source from the google gears svn trunk (the only place the source is available) and I'm a little unsure what to put into SOURCES of the rpmbuild, as the svn checkout contains the osx, windows, symbian, windows ce and linux code.. not to mention multiple browsers... Surely there must be a way for me to seperate just the linux source I used to build... any ideas? On another note... there is an interesting project called gears on rails, which is a mix of gears with ruby on rails allowing for a very fast and organised approach to building offline apps.... this could be the way to go...

I've got the rpmbuild pretty much ready (I managed to get spec file from another firefox extension to look at), I just need a couple more details: the browser-id for browse as in: <pre>/mozilla/extensions/%{firefox_app_id}/%{firefox_ext_id} </pre> Kind Regards, David Van Assche </blockquote></div>
