Instructions for doing so are available here: > > http://repoforge.org/package/rebuild.html Those instructions have a few problems: 1. The first yum command installs a lot of stuff that's really not needed, notably quite an impressive collection of version control systems (cvs, git, subversion) and a Fortran compiler. 2. The second yum command reports: Package rpm-build-4.8.0-27.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version No package rpm-macros-rpmforge available. Package yum-utils-1.1.30-14.el6.noarch already installed and latest version The "already installed" messages are of course just nuisances, but I do the lack of the rpm-macros-rpmforge package won't cause trouble once I get to actually start a rebuild. 3. The link to Russ Herrold's guide for setting up a non-root RPM build environment appears to be dead. I used http://binblog.info/2010/06/08/building-rpm-packages-as-non-root-user/ instead. 4. The step "Rebuilding a SRPM" fails in the present case because http://pkgs.repoforge.org/milter-greylist/ only contains an SRPM for release 4.2.7-1 which still lacks --enable-dnsrbl. 5. The step "Rebuilding from a specfile" lacks instructions on how to actually retrieve the specfile from GitHub. https://github.com/repoforge/rpms/blob/master/specs/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.spec is a web page showing the specfile so fancily formatted that it cannot even be copied and pasted into vi without losing the indentation. Surely there must be an URL which I can feed to wget in order to download the actual file? I guess I'll try unpacking the 4.2.7-1 SRPM manually and applying David's patch to it next. I seem to remember I read instructions for that somewhere. -- Tilman Schmidt Phoenix Software GmbH Bonn, Germany _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.repoforge.org/mailman/listinfo/users
