Re: [Cooker] still no go on hd.img (another recent rsync)
it just "sounds like" the hd.img is "itself" hiding the partition. if, when installing from the iso cdrom (like now) it will infact pop up an error stating something "cannot see hdd partition table" but i've found out this has to do with an error someplace in one of the partitions for which i solve by resizing each on to find the error thru pm5 (or ver. 4). pain in the but process, but i don't feel like deleting 20 gb of data just to install linux (no offense). once this process is complete or i know there are now errors because the iso cdrom (install process by using the cdrom install) can see the partition tablehd.img will still fail to "see" the partitions. augghh...it would be s much faster to install via hdd instead of burning the cdrom...athough i should have a copy just incase On Mon, 21 Feb 2000, you wrote: On Mon, 21 Feb 2000, Roger wrote: lol, i've got roughly 20 gb of data on it. ..unless i can borrow an extra 20gb drive from somebody??? lol no i did not have to use that s/w. matter of fact all newer hdd's do not require that (or cannot even use it). most of the hdd's or already preformat It isn't the drive but the bios that has the problems, that would require translation software.

[Cooker] Re: spec-helper
from the quill of Frederic Lepied [EMAIL PROTECTED] on scroll
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Starting from rpm-3.0.4-0.2mdk, the spec-helper package must be
installed as a dependency of the rpm-build package.
[ snip ]
The goal is to have vendor neutral spec files.
Woohoo! I love it. At one of my consulting gigs we use RPM on Solaris
exclusively to install aftermarkeet software. A lot of times I will
start the build process with either a RH but usually a Mandrake
SRPM/spec file. I always wind up removing the bzipping of man pages
(Solaris' man doesn't know bzip2).
But more than that, at this location, we use a "prefix" of /usr/local
rather that /usr as it is mandated that all "aftermarket" software be
placed in /usr/local. Along with the "spec-helper" initiative can we
mandate the use of %{_prefix} (or define another macro, if you like, at
the top of all spec files) anywhere /usr is being used?
Example:
%files
/usr/man/man1/alias.1*
How about:
%{_prefix}/man/man1/alias.1*
Thots?

Um no, you asked what to remove, i said libgtop assumeing you'd take the older one from say Air ;) No. First off I never said to use nodeps. No you didn't. Somebody else did though. Did not mean to infer you did, sorry. You want to install it along side of the older version, breaking as little as posible in the mean time. Why even bother though? Why not wait for the rest (i.e. the dependant) of the packages to catch up? Why do you/we update everyday? because you/we can. With the two libgtop and the new libgtop-devel you can run all the old stuff and anything you build will link with the newer lib. So this way your s**t works, you can rebuild anything new, and I don't get razzed every few hours about where the f**k the relinked packages are while i wait for the rest of the GUAD(uhh something ;) stuff to be released If you use nodeps you do not get told about the missing file (tracking it down now) in libgtop-1.1.5-0.1mdk (libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.5), it would be pretty much useless OK, another problem with it. :-) Uhmm no only problem with it. and i kinda spaced it out till i read this, got distracted hacking voodoo_vid :), let me go find the right vt and get that finished to make the above true =)

Yes, most of our package support the prefix.
How about:
%{_prefix}/man/man1/alias.1*
No %{prefix} for a local variable.
%{_prefix} should be specified only on the tag Prefix :
Prefix: %{_prefix}
