We provide SRPMs for building, which contain "fixed" httpd.spec files. Either that or the i386 builds work as is for people on i386 platforms. I personally deploy from a locally built SRPM, but that's me. Ideally the rpm builds should be continuously integrated using something like gump, so we catch the problem as it happens, rather than after release. > I don't think having to un-tar a tarball, and mv a file in place is that > big an imposition on a packager. Anything that's non obvious or non standard is definitely an imposition on a packager. Don't make the packager do something that can be (and already is) easily automated :) Regards, Graham --
