guidance needed for rebuilding an RPM
I need some help/guidance on how to re-build a (normally) distributed package (net-snmp) using the latest Fedora spec file, but using the latest (upstream git head) version of the source; or alternatively, the current Fedora version _with my_ fix applied. You see, it may be some time before upstream 'officially' releases the next version, let alone when Fedora (RHEL, SUSE, etc.) release a new package too... but my production systems need the fixes now! Who is the net-snmp package maintainer? TIA Fulko -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Who is the net-snmp package maintainer? Your best bet would be to open a Bugzilla ticket against the net-snmp package with a pointer to the upstream patch that you want applied, as well as reasoning why it's important to have it before the next upstream release. Usually most packagers will apply the patch and submit an update for Fedora. If it's urgent for RHEL or SUSE, you should also contact your paid support representative there and make a request that they release an errata update. That said, for applying a patch to the source locally, you probably want to install the 'fedora-packager' package and then clone the net-snmp build tree. fedpkg clone net-snmp Then you can modify the spec file in that directory, have it apply your patch and then run fedpkg local which will build the package locally. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlE3TcgACgkQeiVVYja6o6PfxwCgoMiVpk/YbjN0pnKkbyK1RY+o 2+kAoKbucC2eE8M0dRj+jWsndiStIAMh =GCSE -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
