Hi,
We are (still) mainly using CentOS 5 (5.8 x86_64). As CentOS / EL 5
standard OpenLDAP packages are rather old (2.3.x), we've been using LTB
OpenLDAP packages ( http://ltb-project.org/wiki/download#openldap),
which get installed in non-standard file system locations.
I am not much experienced in building RPMs and preparing spec files. We
are currently using dovecot RPM packages from the atrpms repo
(http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/).
I would like to re-build Dovecot packages based on the LTB OpenLDAP RPM
packages (OpenLDAP v2.4.x), esp. because I see that ATRPMs Dovecot RPM
packages are built using OpenLDAP v2.3 devel code (i.e. standard CentOS
OpenLDAP devel packages).
In http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot.spec I see:
------------------------------------------------
BuildRequires: openldap-devel, cyrus-sasl-devel
...
Obsoletes: %{name}-pgsql < %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-mysql
< %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-sqlite <
%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-ldap <
%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, $
Conflicts: %{name}-pgsql > %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-mysql
> %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-sqlite >
%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-ldap >
%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, $
------------------------------------------------
So, I guess I can/should change the former line to:
BuildRequires: openldap-ltb-debuginfo, cyrus-sasl-devel
Note: The final Dovecot RPM and the associated executables (included
therein) do not need any LDAP dynamic library in order to run with LDAP
support; i.e. after building, the produced package does not require any
ldap package on the system.
Question 1: What other changes/additions should we make in the spec file
in order to specify that we will be using (if needed) LDAP libraries
from: /usr/local/openldap/lib64 and include files from:
/usr/local/openldap/include (rather than from /usr/lib64 and
/usr/include, respectively, which are the standard file paths used in
native openldap-devel RPM)?
Question 2: How the Obsoletes and Conflicts lines should be changed?
Any other associated info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
