Thanks for the pointer.

Is there any plan to put these CERN-related RPMs into a self-consistent
yum or apt repository?  If the CERNLIB RPM had a
	Requires: CASTOR-client
line in the spec file at building time it would work seamlessly.

Another issue is that one has to properly define $CERN, $CERN_LEVEL and
$PATH after installing the RPM to get the package working.  Can these be
done by providing a /etc/profile.d/cern.{sh,csh} in the RPM?
