That would be 5.2.1. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/archivers/rpm5/ > (aside) > The RPM I am trying to build is yum.

Using the yum.spec from Fedora on FreeBSD won't work, and is probably the least of your problems compared with portability. A yum port is available, and it required *lots* of patching: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/150541 But even with all the patching, the only yum use is for handling RPM packages for Linux on FreeBSD (like for the linux emulator). It has too many hardcoded assumptions to work for native packages. There is no real interest in having it portable to other systems. It was mistakenly submitted* as a dependency of createrepo-0.9.8, but it would have been better to use createrepo-0.4.11 instead... (* as per http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/150542) At one point, there was even a port of mock for use in linux-base: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/emulators/linux_base-f10/ (currently it has a long hardcoded list of rpms, and uses rpm2cpio) --anders ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org User Communication List rpm-users@rpm5.org
