13 I would think catalyst-release-files (or something similar, it just
14 needs the catalyst-* prefix to show it belongs to catalyst) would be a
15 good idea. Also, I think it should install *all* of the .spec/.config
16 files, as someone may want to look into more information on how to build
17 on another platform than the one they are currently running. A good
18 example of this is amd64 and x86, as amd64 can build x86 CDs with
19 minimal trouble (emerging a package).
