I wouldn't really say that. They do use macros which Mandriva has been using for years, and which RH packagers still write custom scripts for ... but I have compatibility macros (see below) which are the ones I am using for building on our RHEL3/RHEL4 boxen. The SRPMS may now even work on RHEL2.1 (I'll check later this week). > that I haven't been able > to get them to work yet on RHAS4. You should have got a warning about the missing macros, which should have taken you here: http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/BackPorting, grab the macros.mdk4rh file and read the instructions in it. (I have another macro file which supports rebuilding perl SRPMS from Mandriva on RedHat, but it will require one additional script from the Mandriva package spec-helper ... I'm not sure if others will be interested in it). > In fact, OL (I'm using 2.3.11) is just > about the only remaining utility that I can't install using rpms. You can try these, though they are a few days old: http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/buchan/openldap/ I'll try and build some 2.3.11's this week. -- Buchan Milne ISP Systems Specialist B.Eng,RHCE(803004789010797),LPIC-2(LPI000074592)
