I'm not hundret percent sure but I think it should be split up. Upstream packages some utilities with bwctl which are not needed in all use cases (thrulay and i2util-tools). The alternative would be to not package them at all from the bwctl source. But there is no upstream source for these utilities other than in bwctl so I think it's best to create the packages for them as well. Upstream does the same with rpm packages that they supply, see http://software.internet2.edu/rpms/x86_64/RPMS.main/I2util-1.1-1.x86_64.rpm http://software.internet2.edu/rpms/x86_64/RPMS.main/bwctl-client-1.3-5.el5.x86_64.rpm http://software.internet2.edu/rpms/x86_64/RPMS.main/bwctl-server-1.3-5.el5.x86_64.rpm Regards, Raoul
