What does it contain? Nothing, upstream Makefile just create this directory to take a backup of previous data in ircd, which is useless if you're building it in mock. > sed 's/-Werror//g' -i configure > > Why do you strip this utterly useful compiler flag away? > What's the status of upstreaming this fix? We don't really need to stop at every warning, causes unwanted things, you know :) However, as I've already told you, other distributions with older compiler are using it frequently (openSUSE). I'll mention it in my mail to upstream once this package will be approved. New SRPM is available, thank you. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
