OpenSuse rules!

Luis, First, are you sure it's not working now? If not, I suspect its a bug, so you can throw that into bugzilla. Anyway, using standard rpm cli tools, Anders is an expert on that and he gave me the instructions years ago. I'm afraid I've misplaced them by now. These days, I use OBS to do the same thing. OBS is unique to opensuse (with exceptions), so learning it has less use cases than the rpm cli tools, but OBS is so much more functional than the rpm tools that it is the way most opensuse maintainers do things now. I just ran thru your situation as a test:

mkdir ~/obs cd ~/obs osc co openSUSE:12.1:Update curl cd ~/obs/openSUSE:12.1:Update/curl osc build

Will locally build the rpm as it exists in the update repo. It does it inside a chroot jail, so it will download a lot of packages that you already have. The copy it is getting is just for osc build to use, and they are not shared with your main set of rpms that zypper uses. Normally to add a feature you can then edit the specfile and add --with-libssh2 to the ./configure statement as an example. But, looking at the curl specfile I see: == ./configure \ --prefix=%{_prefix} \ --enable-ipv6 \ %if %{with openssl} --with-ssl \ --with-ca-path=/etc/ssl/certs/ \ %else --without-ssl \ %if %{with mozilla_nss} --with-nss \ %endif %endif --with-gssapi=/usr/lib/mit \ --with-libssh2\ --libdir=%{_libdir} \ --enable-hidden-symbols \ --disable-static \ --enable-ares == As you see --with-libssh2 is in the configure statement already, so it should be in the official rpm. I didn't do any testing to verify if it works or not. HTH Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
