I've made some new packages for distcc 2.9 and reviewed the 
README.packaging. The last paragraph also refers to renaming the different 
compilers and I was wondering if you could at least mention the naming 
policy we discussed before, eg:

	i386-redhat-linux-cc-2.96
	i386-redhat-linux-cc-3.2
	i386-redhat-linux-cc-3.2.2

If the same convention is used on different platforms, distcc has a bigger 
chance of working out of the box while compiling in mixed environments.

I also noticed distcc ships with a Red Hat init-script now, but my 
packages have an init-script embedded in the SPEC file along with some 
other config files, that SPEC file is here:

Any feedback on the distcc.spec is appreciated.

PS The url to the RPM packages of Alexandre Olivia listed on 
http://distcc.samba.org/binaries.html should refer to:

	ftp://people.redhat.com/aoliva/rpms/9/i386/

or you could link to 2 directories up (like Terry's packages). Now it just 
links to very old releases.

Thanks in advance,
