Well... easier said than done I guess. i've been looking through the
buildoutputs
and what strikes me is that I can't find the statement which installs
these files.
It kind of seems that they are made during the %install and installed
right away.
What I think is weird is that on intel boxen the macros file is OK, on
alpha
it isn't.
In the Makefile I think this part is responsible for installing it into
the
dir:
chmod u+x ./installplatform; DESTDIR="$(DESTDIR)" pkglibdir="$(pkglib
dir)" ./installplatform rpmrc macros platform ; \
$(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)/$(prefix)/src/RPM/RPMS/alpha ;;\
Whatever is going on in there is abracadabra to me, maybe Chmou (or an
other
Mandrake wizard) can shine his (/her?) magick over it... (I saw chmou's
name
on a lot of those patches --> he must know how it works ;-) ).
