Hi, I am trying to make a spec file for a commandline shell (http://roo.no-ip.org/fish) that works on multiple OS versions as well as different OS:es. I have run into two separate problems: * Changing package names. To build fish, the X headers are required. The name of the package providing these have changed from XFree86-devel to xorg-devel to libX11-devel, and that is only on Fedora. The location of the files in the filesystem have changed as well, since Fedora Core 5 puts X stuff in /usr, not /usr/X11R6. Is there some way to specify something like conditional dependencise that allows you to depend on _one_ of several packages? I realise that this could be solved with virtual packages, but since I can't update the X packages for all the RPM-using distros in the world, that is no help whatsoever. Without this, I can't upload one fish rpm to fedora extras that gets built for all fedora versions. * Overzelous dependencies. When building fish on Fedora Core 5, a dependency on libc.so.6 is automatically added, but fish works just fine using earlier versions of libc. How can one specify that fish doesn't actually need the latest version of a library? Doing so would enable me to provide an rpm on the fish download page that works with any semi-modern RPM-based distribution. Sorry if either of these questions has been answered elsewhere, I looked in the maximum RPM online book and seartched the archive of this list, to no avail. -- Axel _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
