I've implemented/adapted this from the openSUSE patches, patches added at http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12724 - one patch for meego-rpm-config, one for rpm. It was tested in devel:hardfp:base and as seen on http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/hardfp:/base/standard/i686/ and no ill effects seen (unless if you apply rpm before meego-rpm-config, as there will be unpackaged files in debuginfo else) BR Carsten Munk _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
