Product: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=919469 Assen Totin <assen@xxxxxxxxx> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |assen@xxxxxxxxx --- Comment #10 from Assen Totin <assen@xxxxxxxxx> --- Wolfgang, Patrick, Thanks for your help on this package. I did not expect it to cause such a large discussion. Let me explain briefly: 1. The spec file in my source tarball: in all my sources I always add a spec file. It is designed to be as generic as possible and will likely fail any check for compliance with strict distribution rules - like Fedora's. It is mostly for my usage, because I try to provide generic RPMs whenever feasible (my software usually has only few dependencies, not hard to track). To be able to quickly build RPMs for different architectures (and use cases), I prefer to build the RPM file in-tree using the Makefile with 'make rpm'; therefore, my spec files usually have "%setup" and "./configure" commented out - my usual workflow is to run ./configure wth proper parameters (even if it is cross-compile), then "make" and "make rpm". I know that there are (and I have used) dedicetdd tols like mock, but still I find it easier and quicker to buil RPMs in-tree. I can't tell whether Patrick should patch my RPM file or keep an entirely new one; to me, Fedora seems too cutting-edge in terms of spec files (e.g., I don't want to lose, in general, the ability to build on/for RHEL - or cut off things which will work on other RPM-based distros), so I guess it is better for the package maintainer to decide. 2. The patch: when I released 0.2.5, one of the descriptions in French, sent me by Patrick, was missing. This is fixed in my trunk along with the configure.ac. I can tag and send you a 0.2.6 tarball right away, if this will make it easier for you. Otherwise, youcan apply the patch as it is written by Patrick.
