Okay, ghostscript-8.15.1-3.1.src.rpm is available from "rawhide"; have built it okay. It's a bit alarming that Red Hat didn't sign the file. Now the next question: is ghostscript-libs-7.07-41.i386.rpm made from a hacked up ghostscript-7.07-41.src.rpm from Fedora Core 4 updates? I have just done this: * edit ghostscript.spec from ghostscript-7.07-41.src.rpm, * add a new package libs, add %package libs %description libs, %files libs * then rpmbuild -ba ghostscript.spec Is that what you folks did? If so, where is the hacked up spec file or hacked up source rpm?
