Hi.
I just read some bits and pieces from an open-book called "Maximum RPM". It mentions that to build an RPM from .tar.gz source, you need to have a section called "%files" in the .spec file and that this must list _all_ the files that will be installed on the user's system. The book is a little dated, so is this still true? I mean, if I'm compiling something big like KDE (not from SRPMS), it's kind of impractical to know what all the %files will be. So does anyone have any ideas on how to approach this problem? Otherwise building RPMs (using customised source) will be a nightmare :( Secondly, I noticed in a number of posts that people have mentioned that i686 (Pentium II) packages will run on a Pentium (i586). If gcc does processor-specific optimisations (e.g. use of new instructions), then how could i686 packages possible run on i586? Thanks in advance pesarif
