Ryan Maple and Peter O'Hara, take a bow!

Open Note to Peter O'Hara and Ryan W Maple of Guardian Digital:

Dear Mr O'Hara and Mr Maple,

Your work on fakeroot.src.rpm was simply amazing: your scripting is clean, well-documented and, yes, pleasing to the eye. It has been a pleasure to quickly review your package for use on my server.
Thank you for showing me how a proper Spec file can look.

I attribute today's bout of fanboyishness to a recent project requiring me to review, and ultimately re-write, a horrendously large series of packages. It's a project involving Bugzilla, and the most prevalent packages are from a distro I like to call Anal Tempest, a collection of such fine, strong, fertile packages in nice hairy cubes that unfortunately I'd be a rampant fool to attempt to use without rebuilding and, apparently, a fool to attempt to rebuild.

While against such a foil Messrs Maple and O'Hara's product could only shine, I'm reasonably confident that anyone else in a similar position as I am but without the Anal Tempest packages for comparison would also agree. Their work is that clean. And Clean is Good.
