=====================

Introduction
------------
Creates a set of RPM packages between 1-1000KB in size with random names and versions read in from a "dictionary" file.

Requirements
------------

The command **rpmbuild** (sudo yum install rpm-build) is required.

Examples
--------
An example can be found at: http://mmccune.fedorapeople.org/random/

Each package installs the following files:

    /etc/<name>-test-file.txt
    /var/lib/<name>-dummy-data.dat
    /usr/sbin/<name> executable script, eg:

For package rexline-5.7.9-1.elfake.noarch.rpm you get:

    $ rexline
