Hi,

I'm building an OpenPKG environment on a SGI machine running IRIX 6.5.
There were some difficulties during the bootstrapping, which I fixed 
manually.  One of the problems is, that the IRIX chmod does not support the 
"-f"-flag.
Therefore I removed this flag from all entries in 
%{_topdir}/lib/openpkg/macros.

The next problem is the rpmtool. The pure sh-implementation works, but the 
perl-implementation needs the quotes around the $cmd in the eval line (What 
a Borne shell on IRIX?).
Find attached a patch, which fixes this problem and includes additional 
support for IRIX.

Finally I was able to compile some of the basic packets and stumbled with 
perl again. Attached my perl.spec to fix these issues.

The project is ongoing and so I'm sure to find more traps an IRIX :-(

        Cheers!
