Thank you, Eric. I appreciate that bit of guidance, as that is not
something I'd have thought to try.

According to the Wiki, QTP-config can be used to set certain

quite seem to figure out how to do so. qtp-config --help only
shows the
option -s, which does not seem to do anything. qtp-config itself just
outputs what the current values are.
I ask because, as previously mentioned on-list, I have build a mail
server for myself using qmt that is running on an FC8 installation.
Everything is running fine. But an update would likely run into
the same
problems I initially ran into when attempting to install this,
since the
packages themselves are not built with SPEC files that indicate
what to
do with an FC8, and would error out to trying to run some other
distribution. I'd like to set the distribution in the
RPMBUILD_OPTIONS
for qtp-config to fdr60 so that I can avoid those problems.
How should these variables be set?
Roxanne
rpmbuild options can be set as described here
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Upgrading#rpmbuild, but
that's for
adding additional options, not for changing ones that are set by
the script.
I'm not sure what would happen if you were to specify a (conflicting)
parameter there.
You're looking to override the --with= parameter that's set by the
qtp-whatami script. The best way I can think of to do that would be
to fake
out the qtp-whatami script into thinking that your OS is ok:
# echo "Fedora Core release 6" >/etc/fedora-faked-release
Then edit the qtp-whatami script, at or near line #115, change
release_info=`cat /etc/fedora-release 2>/dev/null`
to
release_info=`cat /etc/fedora-faked-release 2>/dev/null`
You can then run qtp-whatami from the CLI, and it should report fdr60.
