Thanks Jeff. I do have a few machines on which I can distribute the
compilation, but would like the option of being able to build specific
RPMs.
With that said I have two questions:
1.) Do you think specific per-package .spec files might be released any
time soon, or maybe files with switches to specify packages? I've looked
through the .spec file and it seems fairly integrated so it seems
there's no easy way to separate them all out, mostly because I'm not
completely aware of what files are common and which could easily be
separated out.
As an possibly alternate solution, I have heard that through using the
usual ./configure;make;make install process you can specify which
modules to install. Do you think it would be possible to pass
the ./configure script these switches through the .spec file without
completely breaking it?
2.) I had to insert some debugging code while trying to fix an auth
problem and figure everybody else could make use of it as well. Is there
a standard to submit code changes for review/approval?
Thanks again,
Chris
