Bug 226704

Why do you just build iasl? Is there any special reason why you do not take 
the whole package? Maybe the other parts can be useful as well?!

I made this package because virtualbox ( http://www.virtualbox.org/ ) needs it,
if someone needs the other contents of this package, he may fill a bug report
and I will look into adding the other contents. Debian as well only includes
iasl ( http://packages.debian.org/testing/source/acpica-unix ) 

rpmlint:
E: iasl description-line-too-long iasl compiles ASL (ACPI Source Language) into
AML (ACPI Machine Language), which
- reformat to use less than 70 chars, I guess
W: iasl invalid-license Intel Software License Agreement
W: iasl spurious-executable-perm /usr/share/man/man1/iasl.1.gz
- chmod 0644

I would also package the other utilities if possible.

Fixed, has to be less  that 80 chars, it was excactly 80 chars.

See the comment in the spec file:

Do you want to do it or do you use the utitilities? I am not very keen to
package them unless they are very needed. If you want to maintain iasl, you can
have it. Actually I only wanted to include it to Extras because it is needed by
virtualbox, but since I found out that virtualbox needs at least 2 more packages
in fedora it exceeds the amount of work that I have free for this. So if you do
not need iasl or the other contents of the tarball or want to maintain it, I
will close this ticket, soon.

> Do you want to do it or do you use the utitilities?
Not really. I once tried iasl for changing DSDT of my laptop (and failed).

As the utils do not seem important and could be added at a later point of time
if they become of any use (compare to debian/gentoo which only has iasl as
well) I consider the package approved.

Done

For virtualbox also the devel version of yasm is needed, so atm building it for
FC-6 does not help anyone. I will import it in FC-6 when someone really needs it.

sucessfully built for devel:
