I never bother creating and managing a chroot environment for my RPM packages. For local/testing package builds, I use only the "rpmbuild" command, and a ~/RPM directory structure with the usual layout. For real building in several architectures (i586, x86_64) several distros, and several versions, I use the openSUSE build service. You provide the spec and the sources, and it builds the packages and publishes the results if succeeded. Here are some pointers: http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service_Tutorial http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Build_Tutorial http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Package_Conventions http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3994 Regards, Pedro _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
