Install instructions mention that FSF is giving permission to copy, modify and
redistribute. This is incorrect. Only the copyright holders are doing so. That
bit needs to be fixed upstream. Please notify them. 

You might want to pass  --with-gnu-ld  in configure to speed up the process

Please send a patch upstream to remove the hardcoded path you are working around
in your spec file.

I thought I had looked that up but you are correct. Fixed.

Will do.

Done.

Any idea how to do this best? I'm not really familiar with autotools, so I don't
want to add a ./configure. Debian/Ubuntu are also patching the file.

Comment 3 Rahul Sundaram 2008-07-27 23:19:20 UTC
I am hardly a autotools expert but I send a patch for rssh upstream recently.

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=488525DF.3020800%40fedoraproject.org&forum_name=rssh-discuss

That should give you a general idea.

@Christoph
Review is stalled and needs update soon.

Comment 5 Christoph Wickert 2008-09-03 16:56:56 UTC
The review is stalled because I'm failing to patch the change Rahul requested in comment # 1. Unfortunately The suggestion from comment #3 does not work because I need to patch source but not only the Makefile.

I still have no idea how this is supposed to work: thunar-volman is installed in different locations on different distributions, so it's not just about removing the hardcoded path: Replacing /usr/libexec with %{libexecdir} is not enough because it can also be %{libexecdir}/thunar-volman or even %{libdir}. So in the end it _needs_ ./configure to check for the location and pick it up. As I said I'm not an autotools expert, so I have no idea how to do this.
