Hi, I was trying to build an rpm for the current stable version of elinks for SuSE 10.0 from the downloaded tarball. There were some minor problems, most of which I managed to fix. Here they are, in case you would like to fix them in a later release (I'm sorry I don't quite know how to generate a patch):
1. In the elinks.spec file, in the %changelog section, at one place Oct is spelt 0ct (with a zero instead of capital oh). This makes rpmbuild complain about an invalid date. 2. Under doc, the html files have been moved to their own directory, so *.html should be replaced by html/*.html. 3. I assume the specs are for a Fedora like system, and certain -devel packages are listed under dependencies. For some of these, the header files and libraries are included in the main packages for SuSE, so separate -devel files are not required. Don't know how to fix this in a distro-independent way. 4. There was some problem with locale.alias. rpmbuild complained that this file was installed but not packaged. I didn't know the proper way to fix this problem, so I just fudged the Makefile to delete locale.alias after generating it. Finally, thanks for a very useful program!
