Summary: Review Request: svrcore-devel Alias: svrcore-devel https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196393 ------- Additional Comments From toshio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2006-12-08 03:08 EST ------- http://www.tiki-lounge.com/~toshio/fedora/svrcore-4.0.2.01-0.src.rpm Initial work to port this to autotools. There's a tarball and x86_64 rpms in that directory as well. Please be warned that I am pretty good with autotools but I don't know svrcore or the netscape build system at all. I have no programs to test this against. Therefore, this could be totally borked (most likely, borked on certain archs but not other as replacing the buildsystem usually hits portability hacks). That said, here's the status as I currently see it: * New layout. The tarball contains two directories. svrcore-VERSION/ with supporting files (README, LICENSE, etc) and svrcore-VERSION/src with the source code. * Autotools configures and builds shared and static libraries on linux-x86_64. * Autotools take care of generating the pkgconfig file as well. * Running make distcheck passes and creates distribution tarballs. * Cleaned up the rpm spec file a bit for the new build system. Commented a bunch of the env variable defining as I've only done an initial read through to figure out if it was necessary. * Documentation needs to be updated: NEWS, AUTHORS, and ChangeLog are new files that can be filled with useful information :-) INSTALL needs to be updated with the new install proceedures. * configure.ac has an email address for bug reports in one of its macros. Just need to replace what's there with the proper address. * I don't have a Windows box so I don't know how autotools works on Windows (or if this is something you place a high priority on.) * I need to run ifnames on the source files and figure out where all the cpp variables get set. Most of them looked Windows specific so there's a high probablility things work on *nix boxes but not Windows. We need to figure out hy these defines are set and implement tests in configure.ac to set them instead. This is where talkign with someone who understands svrcore/coreconf would be helpful. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
