FYI - Fedora 12 uses rpm v4.7. If you create rpms on Fedora 12, they
won't be compatible with Moblin2.1...I discovered today.
Prolly not news to you guys, but thought I'd throw it out there...I
was pretty surprised to find such a crippling change in such a core
component.
rpm works for backward compatibility - not forward.
I created an rpm using rpmbuild on rpm version 4.7. It fails to
install on Moblin 2.1 which uses rpm 4.6. The error cited by rpm
relates to the xz compression format which was introduced in 4.7. I'm
pretty sure that is not backwards compatible.
You normally build a totally generic rpm (eg to LSB) with rpm 3
If that's the case, and it's the recommendation for developing
packages for Moblin, then that version of rpm tools should be packaged
with the build toolchain distributed for Moblin development. Thoughts?
