Ok here is how things shook out... First of all, thanks Nalin for your help and guidance it was much appreciated! the nfs-utils rpm is now dependent on * lib-event * nfs-utils-lib-devel (for building) * nfs-utils-lib (for runtime) The nfs-utils-lib-devel rpm is dependent on * nfs-utils-lib (for runtime) The nfs-utils-lib rpm is dependent on * libgssapi-devel (for building) * libgssapi (for runtime) The libgssapi-devel rpm is dependent on * libgssapi (for runtime) The libgssapi rpm is dependent on * krb5-libs (for runtime) Now what need to happen, something I can not do myself, is: 1) Move the lib-event from extra into core 2) Added both libgssapi and nfs-utils-lib to the Core or dist list. Note: I've already check both the libgssapi and nfs-utils-lib source rpms in to the CVS tree but I was unable to build them in beehive due to the "Specified package is not listed in the `dist' collection" error... Note2: This is all the same nfs-utils code that is in test1, its just now broken out into different rpms, which will make it much, much, much, much more manageable... Note3: I have done unit test of both the v4 and secure nfs code with no sign of regressions... at least not yet... ;-) So, How long will it take of the above to steps to happen? I would like to make the commits to nfs-utils and get some more testing asap... tia, steved.
