-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-7269 2012-05-04 03:06:09 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : rpm Product : Fedora 17 Version : 4.9.1.3 Release : 6.fc17 URL : http://www.rpm.org/ Summary : The RPM package management system Description : The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful command line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating software packages. Each software package consists of an archive of files along with information about the package like its version, a description, etc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: On platforms such as x86 and arm, there are macros which expand to all possible subarchs. For example: $ rpm --eval '%{ix86}' i386 i486 i586 i686 pentium3 pentium4 athlon geode $ rpm --eval '%{arm}' armv3l armv4b armv4l armv4tl armv5tel armv5tejl armv6l armv7l A new ppc64 subarchitecture, called 'ppc64p7', is being introduced and it's very likely that in the future there will be additional ppc64 subarchitectures. To make adding new subarchs for ppc64 easier in the future, we'd like to have a power arch macro which expands to all possible subarchs. The proposed new macro is "power64" and will be added to git master in rpm. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #818320 - Create an arch macro for PowerPC 64 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=818320 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update rpm' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/. All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key. More details on the GPG keys used by the Fedora Project can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/keys -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ package-announce mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-announce
