What problems do you still have? Note that we build using koji which uses mock to build "custom chroot" build areas. This ensures that "extra" libraries are not pulled into a build. There were fixed by hand so the build scripts have nothing to do with that. Most of the problem rpms were fixed either with a change to the spec file which creates a updated src rpm which should be in the SRPMS area or via "special" selection of compile distro which was Fedora 13/14 in some cases. This was also done manually. > > Thanks for your great work and any help appreciated, > Torsten > -connie sieh
