Requires: and PreReq: These say what is needed to install a package. Macros in these lines are run once during the build and then the resulting value is saved in the built RPM. So, in this case, it runs perl during the build process and then adds either "perl(:WITH_THREADS)" or "perl(:WITHOUT_THREADS)" in the requirements list. The macro is not used at install time or when calculating build requirements. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
