I've altered the spec file of the jade package. The jade-1.2.1-debian.diff.bz2 caused it to not compile on my alpha, so I put an ifarch on that patch. I also changed the location of the doc's, I got errors that those files couldn't be found. And made /var/tmp/jaderoot the buildroot. Could the maintainer of jade please look at it and consider to merge these changes. Here's the diff on the spec file: 15c15 < BuildRoot: /var/tmp/jaderoot --- > BuildRoot: /tmp/jaderoot 25,27d24 < %ifarch alpha < echo "no jade-1.2.1-debian.diff.bz2 patch" < %else 29d25 < %endif 69c65 < %doc doc/ jadedoc/ dsssl/ pubtext/ unicode/ README COPYING VERSION --- > %doc jade/doc/ jade/jadedoc/ jade/dsssl/ jade/pubtext/ jade/unicode/ jade/README >jade/COPYING jade/VERSION Merry X'mas, Stefan van der Eijk [EMAIL PROTECTED]
