[companion-discuss] Re: spec files for building 'Solaris CUPS Print Suite' ...

[Laszlo (Laca) Peter]

Hi Paul,

Wow, this is great stuff!

Some questions/comments:

- I noticed that you build everything with gcc, is there a reason they
  need to be build with gcc or is that just the way the CCD has always
  been built?  In JDS, we build everything with Sun Studio.

- The patch for pkgbuild basically disables checking for unpackaged
  files.  If you really want to do that, you can do it using:

   %define _unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0

  But it's not a good idea to do so.  It's better to use rm and rmdir
  commands in %install to delete the files and directories you don't
  want to include in the packages.

Thanks,
Laca
