Hi all I've noticed the rpm packaging support is a little broken in the current version of portage. Currently it tries to build packages with rpm -bb and with the newer versions of rpm it should be rpmbuild -bb. I have a patch to fixes this (first searches for rpmbuild and then uses rpm if it can't find it). Also looking into it, I've cleaned up the dynamic spec a bit and added several features (ei. provides tag, post env-update || ldconfig, and so on). I thought before I sent any patches, I just thought I'd inquire about the status of this feature. I've noticed there seems to be two streams for this project at the moment (the current portage and portage-ng). I have great use for this feature and willing to implement it as fully as I can (time permitting :P), if your interested. I just need to know where to send the patches, for your review ;) -- Ron Wills RW Software
