Hey Erich: I have a few patches lined up, I just have to clean them up so they don't invade other archs.
The issue with popt is 1.6.1 doesn't understand x86_64 arch - you can force it to go by adding '--host=i386-unknown-linux-gnu' to the ./configure line in popt.rul. The latest version, 1.8.1 supports it, but unfortunately doesn't come in its own tarball anymore, so we'll need to change popt.rul such that it downloads the rpm SRPM (it is part of the Redhat Package Manager package), extract the rpm tarball and build from there. That requires a bit more work :-\ Other issues I have come across is zlib and openssh needs to be updated to newer versions - and I also need to add the -fPIC CXXFLAG for zlib. I also end up having the following debug files for the boot-standard package: /usr/lib/debug/usr/share/systemimager/boot/x86_64/standard/initrd_templa te/lib/libnss_dns-2.3.4.so.debug /usr/lib/debug/usr/share/systemimager/boot/x86_64/standard/initrd_templa te/lib/ld-linux.so.2.debug /usr/lib/debug/usr/share/systemimager/boot/x86_64/standard/initrd_templa te/lib64/ld-2.3.4.so.debug If anybody knows how I can prevent them from being created, please let me know - for now I have just added them to the %files list in the spec file. I will try to submit the remaining patches by the end of today - I did successfully compile under RHEL4 x86_64, if you want I can build a SRPM for you to try out.
