I just built a new RH 8.0 box. I have been trying to build various packages from their source RPMS and have found two (what I consider quite serious issues).
1) rpmbuild -ba gcc32.spec does not work on an RH 8.0 box using a standard RH 8.0 intall with all the development tools installed. I already griped about this on this list a couple of days ago together with the errors. 2) make rpm against the kernel sources fails miserably. I found that at towards the end of the make script, RH is doing a rpm -ta ... Instead of a rpmbuild ta ... After changing the rpm to rpmbuild I was able to make an RPM out of my custom kernel. I am concerned now that RH is not doing QA on the source RPMS. I fail to see how they could distribute the binary RPMS for gcc32 and the kernel (these are two source RPMS that have build issues that I have found so far) if the source RPMS will not build on RH 8.0. Is it possible that RH is building the RPMS from the source RPMS on a platform other than RH 8.0 and not bothering to test the build on RH 8.0? --Moby -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
