Are you trying to build *.rpm's on FreeBSD? That is doable, but the binary *.rpm's produced are likely not going to usable anywhere except on FreeBSD (which doesn't use rpmbuild) without a fair amount of work. What problem are you trying to solve? > Perhaps I'll setup another VM and give the FreeBSD port another try… > I can turn on my FreeBSD VM which worked with the "%fbsd8x" build options in devtool.conf under buildbot's for several weeks running "make check if there's really a need. You can have the whole VM if you prepared for a 20+ GB VMFusion download. I likely can reinstall and redo the entire VM and build RPM from a cvs checkout in less time than the download takes. ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org User Communication List rpm-users@rpm5.org
