Hi all,
I'm a bit confused: I did rpm --rebuild courier-imap-2.1.1-37.src.rpm (src.rpm from SUSE 9.0) on a SuSE 8.0 pro machine
It compiles fine, but doesn't install the rpms due to deps issues. The problem is after it sees there are dep issues, it wipes the rpms again (or doesn't build them).
I tried rpm -bb courier.spec too - same result
How do I get it to just build the rpms regardless and leave them around for me to solve the dep issues?
Thanks
I don't know the answer but I wonder if you are aware that SUSE 9.0 uses RPM 4 as opposed to 8.0's RPM 3. So, on 9.0, the command to build that source rpm is rpmbuild --rebuild courier-imap-2.1.1-37.src.rpm So, I suspect that if you want to build a 9.0 source rpm on 8.0, you will have to install RPM4. -- Vic Ayres
