Hi, guys. I noticed the recent discussion on the list with regard to making a new mc release, so to help with that, I thought I'd send a quick mail regarding Mandriva's mc packaging and patches. (Patrick, I'm sorry this is so belated - I know you were trying to get some kind of merge going months ago, I never quite got around to signing up for the list to help out).
Mandriva keeps package builds in an SVN server, so you can see the relevant stuff here: http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/mc/current specifically, the spec file is: http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/mc/current/SPECS/mc.spec?view=markup and all the patches are here: http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/mc/current/SOURCES The spec file should be reasonably clean and readable, I cleaned it up last year. Roughly, we have ten more-or-less unique patches, one of which is disabled. They should all be reasonably self-explanatory - if not, ask me. We use 14 patches from Fedora (patches 100 through 113), seven from PLD (patches 200 through 206), and one from OpenSUSE (patch 300). We use the Fedora UTF-8 and slang2 patches. There's also some messing around in the spec: the Norwegian translation is renamed (already discussed on the list, I believe), and all translations are converted to UTF-8 via a big mess of iconv crap. Everything else is fairly standard. Let me know if anything needs to be clarified. Thanks. -- adamw http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
