Hello, Over the last year or so there has been a number of libraries added nfs-utils rm for the v4 and gssapi support as well as an upstream lib (libevent) that is not in the FC release. In the past, to include the functionality of these libraries, I have been hacking the makefile of these libs and of the daemons that needed these libs to link everything statically.... This does work but its a major pain to upgrade plus the binaries are getting a bit large.... so... I would like to break up the current nfs-utils into three different rpms: nfs-utils - would include the daemons and init scripts nfs-utils-libs - libnfsidmap.so, libgssapi.so, librpcsecgss.so nfs-utils-devel - header files that a currently installed My questions are: 1) Does this sound reasonable? 2) I know there is a number of packages that do this but is there a package that does it the "right way" that I can use as an example? 3) How do I get the new rpms include in the distro? 4) The needed upstream library, libevent, should that be included in the nfs-utils rpm or should it be in its own or include in another rpm? 5) anything I'm missing?? tia, steved.
