Would anyone fancy building a few packages from source as a test build? I've built a Debian package and a Mac OSX Fink package. I know there are tools to build an RPM from Debian but if someone using an RPM-based distro fancies tinkering with rpm-build and has written a .spec file before (or is willing to find the docs), could have a go? http://sourceforge.net/projects/qof Make sure you use the CVS as the code isn't on release yet. Also, Slackware, SuSE, maybe even on non-8x86 hardware. It only depends on libc, glib (not Gtk) and libxml2 (>= 2.5.10). Thanks.
Would "checkinstall" not generate an RPM package? I know on a Debian based system the default is to generate (and then install) a .deb file, but if you specify "-R" it should make an RPM package... although it may complain when trying to install it :D Or would this not help at all?
