We're told to CC the package maintainer when we find problems with their package. Yes. That's the way to go. Cc the maintainer until he said you explicitely to not do so.

If you want to make a data file that lists how everyone wants reports like this well I'll follow it but I'm not gonna spend my time searching the archives or making my own database just so I can do things in everyone's particular way.

Yeah, that's kind of stupid. It seems to go away if you force it to run
automake, but then that leads to another lib building error.
Everything builds, I just can't get it to install or make RPMs. :(
In your pan.spec file, make it look like this quick hack:
%install
[ -n $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -a $RPM_BUILD_ROOT != / ] rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
%makeinstall_std
mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_bindir}/*-pan $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_bindir}/pan
All I did was add the mv command. I wouldn't exactly call this
production material though :-/ Do it as a quick hack to get the
binary built and I guess someone will figure out why the Makefile.in
insists on prepending that to it. I checked and 0.11.92 has the exact
same Makefile.in, so it doesn't quite make sense what's happening there.
I haven't dug into it enough to know better.
Ugly or not, it worked. It was ugly enough that I spent more time on it,
though. g
I did a diff between 0.11.92 and 0.11.93, and there were some pretty
huge changes in the config process and files. Upshot is that if you
don't specify a blank --program-prefix, it automatically prepends the
binary with the guessed system type.
A somewhat cleaner fix was to append the blank argument in the pan.spec:
%configure2_5x --program-prefix=
This now -ba's cleanly to unpatched source.

[Cooker] New Pan 0.11.93 uploaded
According to the Mdk RPM HOWTO v1.1, I'm supposed to send mail to Lenny and cooker when I send something up - is this still correct? After figuring out the new configure process, I've built a new pan and uploaded it to ftp.linux-mandrake.com/incoming. I've tested the SRPM and installed tested the rpm. It's clean source with a lightly tweaked .spec from the 0.11.92 SRPM. Also, has anyone seen Fred Crozat? He's MIA since May 14. -- Brad Felmey

[Cooker] New Pan
May I respectfully request a new pan rpm? 0.11.93 was just released, and
it contains a bugfix for multiparts.
I've tried making this myself by making small edits to the previous
pan.spec (changing the version, updating the changelog, and removing the
previous patch, which is now included in the new release), but
installtime bombs because the executable is
${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/usr/bin/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu-pan instead of just
plain 'pan'. The make install process is prepending the target string to
the binary name, and after working on this for two hours I can only
conclude that I'm just not good enough to find the problem.
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/bfelmey/rpm/BUILD/pan-0.11.93/pan'
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs
/home/bfelmey/rpm/tmp/pan-0.11.93-1mdk-buildroot/usr/bin
mkdir -p -- /home/bfelmey/rpm/tmp/pan-0.11.93-1mdk-buildroot/usr/bin

[Cooker] New Pan
A new version of Pan is out. I know it's hard to keep up with the freqeuent releases, but this one reportedly fixes a lot of crashes: Pan 0.10.0.93, Little Leprechaun, has been released. It can be found at http://pan.rebelbase.com/. ... About 0.10.0.93 This is a big bugfix release: for once I'm unable to crash Pan in heavy torture testing. Undoubtedly you'll be able to correct this situation. :) The improbable version number is to indicate that this is a beta between 0.10.0 and 0.10.1, without confusing RPM with sane, human-readable phrases like beta. Any chance of an updated RPM? b. -- Brian J. Murrell
