Hi there...
I wrote a new, more simplified SPEC file for RPM-based linuxes. It uses some
more RPM best practices, and fixes a few problems I was having with it's
installation under SLES/SLED.
As to why I made it, I found a few inconsistencies with the official package,
namely:
- the rxapid script was placed in the wrong directory for SLES/SLED and
wouldn't start during boot;
- I need it to install without errors under SLES (and zypper is way too
demanding about how pre- and post-scripts should behave)
The only part I left out is the hard-coded /opt/ooRexx paths. I'm using the
%{_prefix} macro to determine where it should be installed. I could also use
some other macros to determine the init.d directory, and add/remove the rxapid
service, but decided against it because some distros might not have them
defined. Any thoughts on that?
BTW, is there a test suite (like a "make test") to certify that the interpreter
is working as expected?
This has been tested under SLES 11 and SLES 11 SP1.
Please check it out and comment!
