+</I>&gt;<i> - Buildroot is no longer necessary
+</I>&gt;<i> - %mdkversion
+</I>&gt;<i> - ldconfig in post (handled by filetriggers)
+</I>&gt;<i> - commit the update with a good commit message.

+</I>&gt;<i> any objections?
+</I>So, that means performing the import first, and then commit your changes
+inside SVN. Well, I&#8217;d say why not, it would help other people review the
+changes, and we would also be sure that it&#8217;s well formatted too.
+
+If everyone agree, I&#8217;d say we just replace the content on the wiki with
+your proposal
