Hello, My apologies if I'm sending this to the wrong place. I wasn't sure where this should go. Please let me know whom I should be emailing with these questions if this list is the wrong place.
I recently subscribed to the Cooker list, hoping to help out some. I read the mdk-rpm howto (as http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/cookerdevel.php3 suggested). I've also read Maximum RPM recently. My questions are in two categories--broken links, and differences between Mandrake's version of RPM and the normal (RedHat) version of RPM: 1. Broken Links--what are the correct links for the following: Page containing link: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/howtos/mdk-rpm/building.html Text with link : "at FSF" Links to (broken) : http://fsf.org/philosophy/license.html Page containing link: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/howtos/mdk-rpm/advanced.html Text with link : "ftp://ftp.mandrakesoft.com/pub/chmou/rpm-spec-mode-mdk.el"; Links to (broken) : ftp://ftp.mandrakesoft.com/pub/chmou/rpm-spec-mode-mdk.el 2. Differences in (RedHat) RPM and Mandrake RPM? I found that Appendix B of the mdk-rpm howto (http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/howtos/mdk-rpm/more-macros.html) specified some of the extensions of mdk-rpm, but there were other tags/macros referenced in the howto that weren't clearly identified as being standard RPM or a Mandrake extension (and I couldn't tell, since Maximum RPM is a little out of date). Can anyone tell me? Most of the specific tags/macros that I was wondering about: License (vs. Copyright) %defattr %{_bindir}, %{_sbindir}, %{_datadir}, etc.. %{_menudir} BuildRequires, BuildConflicts Epoch %config(noreplace), %config(ghost), %config(missingok) Also, if anyone knows (or knows where I can find) any other relevant differences, I would appreciate it.
