One possible incompatibility, hopefully non-issue: our brp-strip*
allowed setting strip and objdump to use via args and STRIP and
OBJDUMP env vars whereas the rpm ones allow it through args only
(i.e. %{__strip} and %{__objdump} as far as specfiles are concerned).
Specifically, the following are gone from here now: %_prefix,
%_sysconfdir, %_infodir, %_mandir, %_defaultdocdir, %_configure,
%makeinstall, %debug_package, %_use_internal_dependency_generator,
%_missing_doc_files_terminate_build, %_unpackaged_files_terminate_build
- Stop overriding rpm external dependency generator settings by default
- No normal package should ever end up using the old unmaintained
dependency generator scripts from here, but the kmp system depends
for now on the way this was previously set up here so letting
that old cruft live in the non-default package for now.
This reverts commit 8174ec3d10.
remove patch that forces --disable-silent-rules to configure it breaks anything set to not ignore unknown configure options
Various projects have been adding AM_SILENT_RULES from Automake to
their Makefiles for "developer convenience"; the goal being that they
see warnings more easily.
Now really the right way to do this is to have a make wrapper (or an IDE)
that knows how to filter out warnings, but let's leave that aside for now.
But for debugging builds, we really need the full log data. Being
able to see exactly how e.g. libtool is being run helps a lot for
debugging link problems as an example.
- brp-strip-comment-note is not only unnecessary here but is also
now messing up things by resetting EI_OSABI to zero (#568921)
- patch from Roland McGrath
- with %_python_bytecompile_errors_terminate_build set to non-zero,
byte-compilation errors will abort the build, this helps catch out
silly "improt foo" syntax errors early on
- not all .py files are valid python (they can be templates, inteded for
jython consumption etc), and what's valid can depend on the python
version (notably 2.x vs 3.x) so allow overriding from spec
- rpm < 4.6 used to try and fetch and import any missing keys from
keyserver automatically on rpmdb iteration if hkp_keyserver was set, which
caused hideous slowdowns and huge load on pgp keyservers AND was a
security hazard as rpm thinks imported == trusted key. This is safe
enable now as rpm will only ever import keys when explicitly told to do
so with --import
- this makes pgp import directly from PGP servers work, ie
'rpm --import 0x<keyid>'
- autotools dependency tracking isn't generally useful in rpm builds;
disabling it results in cleaner build logs and possibly slight build speedups
- patch from Ville Skyttä
- --target is only ever useful for handful of compiler toolchain packages
and cross-compiler packages are better off setting it themselves if
necessary, rpm messing here only gets in the way
- patch originally from Stepan Kasal
- syncs up with rpm upstream setup
- FFLAGS has a Fedora-specific override forcing us to carry this %configure
copy, need to fix rpm to permit more fine-grained overrides...
- as per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XZRpmPayloads
- lowish compression preset level to keep deltarpm rebuild time tolerable
- source rpms dont really benefit from XZ compression as the contents are
typically tarballs which are already compressed
- patch from Bill Nottingham
- remove any existing buildroot contents and safely create a new one
- patch originally from OpenSUSE / Michael Schroeder, adopted to Fedora

- update config.{guess,sub} to 2003-06-17
- define VENDOR to be redhat only when /etc/redhat-release present
[suggested by jbj]
- put VENDOR in vendor field in our config.guess file for
ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390, s390x, x86_64 and elf32-i386 Linux
- drop the --host, --build, --target and --program-prefix configure options
from %%configure, since this causes far too many problems
file, because that will start overriding things like %{_lib} -- probably
more could have been snipped, but the remaining bits are at least
moderately reasonable to make sure are defined according to "our policy"
