Heads-up, if you're trying to build for Fedora 8 and your spec file detects WHICH version of Fedora you're compiling for. Fedora's Koji installation currently has a serious configuration bug for dist-f8, at least for scratch builds. When it compiles for dist-f8, it incorrectly thinks it's compiling for dist-f9, instead of correctly compiling for dist-f8. That is, when compiling for Fedora 8, %fedora == 9!!! Proof: If your .spec file has: %if %fedora == 9 ExcludeArch: ppc64 %endif then "rpmbuild -bs X.spec" followed by: koji build --scratch dist-f8 ../SRPMS/...src.rpm will NOT build for ppc64 (wrong!). But change "== 9" to "== 8", and it WILL build for ppc64 (wrong!). Ooooops. Maybe it IS building for 9 instead of 8, but the result is the same: No joy when building for Fedora 8. I have already submitted a bug report: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/711 But since this is just before a weekend, I don't know how long it'll be before it's fixed. I thought I'd save some grief for the people working over the weekend. Thanks. --- David A.
