OK, I'll speak up since I started this uproar by updating the package.
All I did was add some patches to WsLib, so Aurora framebuffer would work
on PPC, and add a "BuildRequires" for PPC in Aurora to insure the
appropriate WsLib is used. I've noted the circular "Requires" mentioned
before, and also in repeated installs, that sometimes that link does not
happen. If all flavours of Aurora are installed, it doesn't seem to
happen.
The current spec file is a little different that what I'm used to seeing,
as it doesn't break out the seperate packages in quite the manner that
some of the other .specs that create multiple packages do.
As the "ugly stepchild" here working on PPC, I'm generally hesitant to
change any more than I need to to accomplish PPC functionality on any
package, lest I upset the applecart. Even then, I still manage to get
folks upset;^) I agree the Aurora RPM needs to be cleaned up a little,
but as I said, my focus was just to make it work at all on PPC.
