- 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
#458648)
- require rpm for parent dir, version >= 4.6.0 for sane keyserver behavior
- buildrequire libtool to grab copies of config.guess and config.sub
- add URL to the git repo and upstream changelog as documentation
- 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>'
- these used to have RH-specific hacks in them and %configure used to
copy updated versions to builddir on invocation but neither is done
now, these are just copies of upstream (libtool / automake) versions
so there's no point dragging them along
- some packages might expect to find them in /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/ so
perhaps spec should copy them at build-time from automake/libtool
to ensure a recent version
- rpm's dep extractors have gotten numerous improvements over the years,
while the ones here haven't seen any updates since 2002
- point the find-* scripts to rpm's scripts, remove the redundant and
outdated perl.* scripts
- 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
by Tom "spot" Callaway
- as per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ArchitectureSupport
- set 32 bit intel build arch to i586 on compatible hardware
- set 32 bit sparc build arch to sparcv9 on compatible hardware
- add missing armv7l arch
- set the default build arch to match fedora arm build target
