I do something similar. >>The Fedora files are here: >>http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=nmh.git;a=tree >> >>I don't really know what I'm doing with this stuff but after >>putting the .spec file in ~/rpmbuild/SPECS and the patch file >>and original sources in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES and then running >>rpmbuild -bb nmh.spec, it built a .rpm.

The drawback of it not being in a repository is that we all have to notice and rebuild the rpm whenever there is a bug fix/dependency change. > Would you. I wonder how many of us are using nmh on RHEL 6? There is a buzilla entry for it here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=475479 but it was closed WONTFIX owing to no-one being willing to be the maintainer for the rpm on EPEL. For various reasons I cannot realistically commit to doing that, so we would need a volunteer. An alternative would be to set up a repository specifically for an nmh rpm (thus avoiding the administrative complications of interacting with EPEL), which wouldn’t be difficult except that it would have to be somewhere… -- Jón Fairbairn [email protected] _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
