Cross-building RHEL and SLES rpm's from Ubuntu?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Is it practical to build rpms for RHEL 6.0 and SLES 11 SP1, by building one or two older versions of rpmbuild on Ubuntu 11.04?

RHEL appears to use rpm-build-4.8.0-12.

SLES appears to use rpm-build-4.4.2.3-37.16.37.

Are they both on the same side of the main rpm fork?

Do these distributions include any patches in their respective rpm-build SRPM's that might complicate matters?

Can we reasonably hope that we can grab http://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.4.2.3 (since it's the older of the two), build it once on Ubuntu 11.04, and then build compatible rpm's for both RHEL and SLES?

Thanks!
