Really minor issue, it's only evident on macros which expand by default (ie %install with debug support) and in the changelog list, so I don't see the point of changing historic changelogs if they cause no harm (note the %install ones were fixed).
vi samba.spec /%changelog :.,$s/\([^%]\)%\([^%]\)/\1%%\1
well i took ages to figure why i was not able to rebuild alpha23.3, and i fear the next time someone creates another macro it will happen again.
2) manpage for smb.conf is broken in the beta1 tarball or in samba cvs, and i am not able to rebuild the docs (xsltproc hangs processing smb.conf.5.xml)
well, actually it did not hang, i was missing a dtd and it keept fetching it from the net (i'll have to switch that transparent proxy back on again sometimes). using: XSLTPROC="/usr/bin/xsltproc --nonet" ./configure in the docs/docbook dir helps a lot since xsltproc would exit on a missing local definition instead of taking hours to build the documentation.
What i discovered is that if we rebuild the docs in beta1 we get much more documentation than if we don't (including manpages for a few tools, a docs/faq with correct links, and more) This will add a number of buildrequires.
to build html and manpages we need: docbook-dtd42-xml docbook-style-xsl libxslt-proc
to build tex/ps/pdf: tetex-latex tetex-dvips netpbm
to build txt we would need xmlto which is not packaged in Mandrake atm.
regards, L.
