RH9 setup
my .rpmmacros
%_topdir /home/builder/src/rpms
%_builddir %{_topdir}/build
%_rpmdir %{_topdir}/rpms
%_sourcedir %{_topdir}/sources
%_specdir %{_topdir}/specs
%_srcrpmdir %{_topdir}/srpms
%_tmppath %{_topdir}/tmp
I get many errors with the spec file provided with ntop.
After removing all the entries in the spec file provided with ntop to an
rc1 version, it fails when it gets to the patch. If I fix the path
reference for the patch it hangs. Take a look at Dags spec file, he
generally does a very good job of packaging for RH/Fedora.

Also what is the purpose of the version.patch ?
