Hi
I only used it on Redhat 7/8/9 so far. It is known not to compile on
Redhat 6.
Since you will have to look this gift horse in the mouth anyway, here is
a rundown of the crooked teeth I know about:
- Needs to be upgraded to the newer shell functions for rc scripts
- popt options doesn't work in rpm
- rpm wants to use its own version of libdb, this was worked around by
renaming the rpm-specific libdb source dir (db3->db3.tmp). This way it
picks up db-4.1.x from the main openpkg distribution, but it may not be
the most elegant way of doing it.
- hardcoded a few defines to make rpm/4.2.1/rpmio compile since the
configure script that ships with rpm-4.2.1 didn't seem to get it right.
On the positive side, I've worked with this version on about 6 different
machines for a bout 2 weeks without any crashes, corrupt databases etc.
Cheers
Conrad
