Well, Red Hat has been good at finding loopholes in the past which make it
difficult for people. Removing all the configure and Makefiles make it
quite hard to just rebuild, they used to do that with their RHES product.
That I never encountered, but last version of RHEL I worked with was version 3.
Or delivering older sources than the shipping product, "while they get the
sources ready"...those type of things make it difficult for people to
rebuild and deploy.
That we hit a few times. We'd get an updated binary package, but no
SRPMs were available. We often ended up just grabbing the SRPMs from
Fedora Core instead and then used the spec file from RHEL's latest
version and mashed the two together to work.
Sure, everything you know how to do is easy to setup.
Exactly.
