Use "--define nokerberos=1" as a flag to rpm when rebuilding the spec file rpm manpage or 'rpm --help' doesn't mention --define parameter at all. You can find some information on it in /usr/doc/rpm-3.0.4 Here's what rpm-4.0 rpm --help sez': ... All modes support the following arguments: --define '<name> <body>' - define macro <name> with value <body> --eval '<name>+' - print the expansion of macro <name> to stdout ... Hmm, am I mistaken, or should that be --define '<name>=<body>' ? (as in --define 'nokerberos=1'). RPM 4.0 tarball man page didn't contain this (yet). May I suggest that a short example like that nokerberos will be added there so that the actual use will be comprehensible? |
