I've just made my first attempt at building and uploading rpm packages for RHL 5.0/Intel to the contrib area of redhat. I really needed the binutils-2.8.1.0.25 badly and asked the redhat-list if someone had done it. No answer yet. In the mean time, I decided I would have a go at making it my self. I took out the spec file from the contrib'ed binutils-2.8.1.0.23-1, renamed it to binutils-2.8.1.0.25.spec and made some minor changes. Then I did a rpm -ba binutils-2.8.1.0.25.spec and whow, magic! However, beware that I'm not sure that all of it is fully functional. I've tried it on the egcs-980321 compiler and all *seems* well... Also, I needed to update the procps-* also. I did this in the following way. First, I built the binutils-2.8.1.0.25-1.src.rpm and the binutils-2.8.1.0.25-1.i386.rpm. I then updated the binutils package with --nodeps to get by the deps from procps. After that, I took the contrib'ed procps-1.2.6-1.src.rpm and rebuilt it. Then I updated the two binary procps- packages. Quit easy... Anyway, there they are now... Please send me feedback on how I sould have done instead... /ChJ -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
