Hi list, RHAS3, soon 4, rpm-4.2.3-10. I've got to the stage where I install just about all of my extra stuff and utilities using spec files and tarballs. Red Hat isn't very good at supplying utility upgrades. In fact, the only package that I haven't yet installed as an rpm is OpenLDAP - mine's 2.3.7. The only useful OpenLDAP 2.2/2.3 spec file I've found to use as an example is Mandriva's (Mandrake Software). Sassing it out, I've found a few macros that aren't listed in the Maximum or Guru Labs HOWTOs. Here's an example, line 48/1719 - e.g., quite near the top: %{?_with_system: %global build_system 1} %{?_without_system: %global build_system 0} %{?_with_modules: %global build_modules 1} %{?_without_modules: %global build_modules 0} %{?_with_slp: %global build_slp 1} %{?_without_slp: %global build_slp 0} Where can I go to learn more about what "%{?_with[out]_" and "%global" do? Are these particular to Mandriva's version of rpm? I guess I can cheese my own spec file without knowing, but knowing would be nice :) --Tonni -- mail: tonye@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.billy.demon.nl _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
