 And KDE spec are the most crappiest from the whole distribution. And
KDE team
 has always argued of difficulty to keep backward compatibility to
avoid any
 proper package splitting.

And removing the backward compatability will not necessarily improve the
quality or reduce the arguments.

But, it's probably worthwhile fixing the obvious typo on the package
(the missing ?), or removing the changes now the rpm does it, regardless
of whether the packages build on older releases or not.

However, I know of a few people who would complain if all backward
compatability were dropped from KDE.

Buchan

The line:

  %{__cputoolize: %{__cputoolize}}

should be

  %if %buildfor9_2
  %{__cputoolize: %{__cputoolize}}
  %endif


A more generic fix may be:
%{?__cputoolize: %{__cputoolize}}

(ie I think it was a typo)

Otherwise the build fails on 9.1 and -- I assume but have no way of
testing -- prior versions. So far this has cropped in in
arts-1.1.3-2mdk.src.rpm and kdelibs-3.1.3-3mdk.src.rpm

 Backward compatibility has never been an issue for mdk package.

Depends on the packages. Samba still builds all the way down to 8.0
(tested), and I took a patch from someone who still built on 7.2. Luca
keeps cyrus-imapd building down to at least 8.2.

 The advantage
 is that it helps keeping spec files clears. And I doubt just changing
this
 macro call would be enough anyway.

KDE packages all built on 9.1 before this, and possibly earlier versions
too.

Anyway, I think with latest rpm, these additions can be removed, since
%configure now calls __cputoolize:

* Sat Jul 26 2003 Gwenole Beauchesne [EMAIL PROTECTED]
4.2-14mdk

- - Requires: libtool = 1.4.3-5mdk
- - Always call cputoolize in %configure{,2_5x}
