I assume that you mean entries like the following:
%_fixperms %{__chmod} -Rf a+rX,g-w,o-w
%__chown_Rhf %{__chown} -Rhf
%__chgrp_Rhf %{__chgrp} -Rhf
It seems to me that this 'macros' file is part of the RedHat RPM
implementation used by OpenPKG. I'll look into how we could fix this, but
there is of course a portability issue if we just remove the '-r' flag for all
operating systems. That's probably not the fix we are looking for.

Your patch is in the build, and I just made a new bootstrapper. If you try it
out then please let me know how it goes. I don't have a SGI machine available
for testing.

I added your IRIX condition in the perl specfile, so I hope that works too
now. I left out your change of PERL5LIB=..., because I'm not sure why you did
that. If the PERL5LIB variable must be referenced outside of its block (or
there is some other reason for moving the declaration), then let me know.

Thanks, and keep up the good work. Please keep in mind that the new packages
are in the current section on the ftp server. You installed a OpenPKG
'release' 1.1 instance on your machine, and not a 'current' grade one. Small
hassles can result from mixing the two when testing or upgrading.
