Hello everybody... Don't know if this list is still alive -- it's been long since I took part in RPM development, way before Fedora days... I do hope it is still alive so I will try to ask a question that I had for many years and was evene going to embark on development myself. Is it already possible to generate binary subpackages with different BuildArch'es from a single source package? The reason for such a question is I'm building a lot of cross-tools and it is quite a pain to make those properly with proper arch. Let's say I'm building an ARM cross-toolchain on an x86_64 machine. That build produces both _HOST_ binaries (e.g. GCC) and _TARGET_ ones (e.g. glibc) in the process. The question is how am I going to pack those in separate binary packages with different architectures? Is anything being done to address cross-development with RPM? There are many other shortcomings in this respect -- e.g. all those %ifarch macros that could've been extended to differentiate between _HOST_ and _TARGET_ architectures (full Canadian cross would've been even better :)) and so on. Any information would be highly appreciated... --- ****************************************************************** * KSI@home KOI8 Net < > The impossible we do immediately. * * Las Vegas NV, USA < > Miracles require 24-hour notice. * ****************************************************************** _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
