I have received following email along with pdfedit.spec file for building RPM packages on ALTlinux and accompanying patch and desktop file.
I'll zip them and put them up on the sourceforge site along with current release, but what to do with these in the long run? I suggest creating some "contrib" or "build" directory where contributed things like .spec files, or scripts to build pdfedit package on various systems (some specs for .deb package or gentoo ebuild too?) could be placed. Advantage would be that whoever uses distro with package system at least similar to ones already in the contrib could then take the .spec as a starting point, make some slight changes for some specific system (suse/fedora/etc ...) and use that to build RPM packages. Also, things like the .desktop entry for KDE could be put there too. Basically, anything that could help people create packages with pdfedit should be put there. Also, what to do with the fontpath patch? Merge with trunk, or it is some altlinuz specific fix? I don't know what exactly it does (something in XPDF code), so perhaps Jozo or Miso can look at it. There seems to be some reference for it "added fontpath patch; thanks Slava Dikonov (slava@) for investigation: https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13473#c3";, unfortunately the page is in russian, only thing I was able to decypher (using automated translation) was that it was some problems with pdfedit and cyrillic fonts on ALT linux and many other PDF tools suffer from similar problem.

I've just built 0.4.1 and so far it seems quite nice. Still the installation is a bit weird, folks tend to use DESTDIR for packaging instead of "root dir". If you're interested, I can provide "usual" routine with macros like %configure or %make_install substituted. PS: ALT Linux specs are quite terse and most likely won't build on distros with poor/different macro set (like Fedora); still this one might be a better starting point than nothing. -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/ ------- End of forwarded message ------- GPG/PGP Public key: http://www.petricek.net/petricm.pgp Fingerprint 6AA8 FFCE C061 1CB2 55F0 A1F3 3AA9 EB4F BD50 C1B8 /------------------------------------------------------------\ | WWW: http://www.petricek.net/ | \------------------------------------------------------------/
