`openpkg build` works well on a system which actually build source packages, but I've find it annoying, that it will install (and uninstall) build dependencies even if a current binary package is in the RPM repository. Is there a way to change this behavior or am I doing something seriously wrong? I'd also love to see a tutorial on the 'right' way to build custom source repositories. Specifically I'd like to know the 'proper' way to create an overlay to the official source repository. On another note: I noticed both yum and urpmi are in -current but neither would build out of the box for me on Debian 3.1 or Solaris 10. Is anyone using these? Is there any interest in getting them to work within the OpenPKG framework? -- Olaf ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org User Communication List openpkg-users@openpkg.org
