I managed to get 4.4.6 to build on Solaris 2.8 (sparc). It was a bit of an ordeal, as I'm sure you're finding out for yourself. I've been delinquent in publishing my recipe here. I built rpm 4.4.6 to put its files in my own account as I don't have root privileges on that system. One thing to be cautious of is that 4.4.6 is the first version that doesn't read old rpm formats, right Jeff? The good news is that the rpm2cpio that comes with 4.4.6 still will. Would my recipe be of use to you? Cheers.... P.S.: What's the right way to publish patches that get rpm to build on Solaris? Different lists have different conventions. It might also be useful for me to publish my spec file. -- Kevin _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
