Is the ultimate intent that the "plain GNOME" .spec files will be 
maintained in
each module's CVS directory?  I had gotten the impression that this was the
point of the plain-gnome directory in CVS.  Has Miguel finally gotten 
over his
allergy to having .spec files in the module CVS?

Also, what's the relationship between your plain-GNOME ftp site and the 
plain-gnome
CVS module?

Not volunteering yet, I need to clean my basement enough to have room to 
set up
the Linux box ... :(
