FYI: I successfully built a beta4 RPM for Mandrake, having to make only
the following changes:
1) add -fno-fast-math to the CFLAGS set from RPM_OPT_FLAGS. This fixes
the date/time rounding problems. Would seem to be a non-invasive fix to
put this in for every build, or to flag it as a Mandrake-only feature
(but I have not gotten a suggestion on how to do that).
2) explicitly remove Pg.bs from the list of files for the perl
installation. On my system (with perl-5.6.0) that is a zero-length file
which seems to disappear (or never gets copied) during the installation
process. Not sure why it does not propagate, but it does not seem to be
essential.
Comments?
