I have the latest kernel with the drivers for my 3ware 9550SX built in. Where can I find the tools and monitoring apps for this card? Are there rpms hiding somewhere, or do I need to build it from source? -- Bowie

The packaging/lsb/rsync.spec file is broken as shipped: It has a "Sept" month (rpmbuild here takes only 3-letter month names), and RH gzips the manpages, so the %files list can't find them. I also added doc/README-SGML and doc/rsync.sgml to the %doc files. Patch follows. Thanks for all the good work! --- rsync-2.5.6/packaging/lsb/rsync.spec.orig 2003-01-28 06:28:35.000000000 +0100

Im trying to learn how to create RPMs but am a little confused by the spec file. Im trying to package up some Python scripts, rather than binary files, and I want them to be installed in a subdirectory under /usr/local which I shall refer to as /usr/local/X Ive put the scripts in a tarball under /home/me/X/RPM/SOURCES but Im getting terribly confused over what to put in the? %build %install

I have a couple of questions regarding openssh.spec and the rpm that gets generated from it. I am using 2.3.0p1 1. Why is openssl a prereq? openssh statically links to openssl during build by default (rightfully so, you don't want your security library a shared object if possible) 2. I don't understand the following line in the spec file during the install step (it makes it not build for

Hi all, I'm planning to use Bacula in production environment. I've seen the Bacula packages are not provided neither by any official repo nor any third popular repo (as rpmforge). ?Anyone use bacula in CentOS 5? -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

hello list, I'm trying to build a postfix rpm that has mysql support included. I've found the line where I need to define mysql support but it seems that I am being tripped up by some build dependencies: [root at beta SPECS]# rpmbuild -ba postfix.spec error: Failed build dependencies: MySQL-shared is needed by postfix-2.9.1-1.rhel5.x86_64 MySQL-devel is needed by

I am trying to build an rpm package for iaxmodem-1.2.0. At the moment I am still trying to get a working spec file put together. I have managed to get an SRPM produced but the binary build from this fails due to there being no install task in the Makefile.in provided with the source. I have found a spec file from opensuse that provides this in the install portion: %build [

Hi People, I have just started building my own RPMS on both Fedora and CentOS and generally things have gone well. Currently I am trying to create RPMS for some commercial software that we have purchased. Step 1 was install the software using its JAVA Based installer ensuring that all files were installed into a particular directory in /usr/local. Step 2 was create a tar file of the

Hi, Everything compiled correctly for the ocfs2 package, but so far the modules will not load with the "well known" module symbol error. FATAL: Error inserting ocfs2 (/lib/modules/2.6.16.27-0.6-smp/kernel/fs/ocfs2/ocfs2.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) Okay not sure what is up here, any suggestions? BTW, this is the correct module location and I

I'm trying to build a package to create a directory and install some files. My rpmbuild keeps failing, unable to cd into the directory, "no such". Now, in the tmpfile, I *see* it cd'ing into BUILD/opt, and the source was unzipped and untared into BUILD/opt/smipmicfg-1.27.0. In the spec file, I've even added a cd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/opt, and I see it cd to there... and then it

Hi, I have been making an RPM of FLAC to bundle with GStreamer. In order to get it working I had to make some rather hackish solutions in the SPEC file. The flac Makefile does to build into the correct directories while creating an RPM for some reason. I have attached the SPEC file I ended up with if it is of interest. Of course it didn't help me much cause it turned up we had a bug in the
