Package: HelixPlayer-1.0.gold-2 from rawhide Problems with the .spec files: 1. typos. e.g., %{_datadir}/%{_libdir}/helix/share/ 2. Missing files. e.g., README is needed for user agreement. 3. Redudent patches. e.g. HelixPlayer-1.0.beta20040615-cvs-no-update.patch is not required since -k is used with the build system Fix: See my spec file at http://apt.ling.li/rpms/HelixPlayer/HelixPlayer.spec which contains fixes for the above problems as well as some other hacks for Red Hat 9 and Fedore Core 1. Note that it builds 'release' binary packages instead of 'debug' ones. Packages for RH9 and FC1/2 can be obtained at http://apt.ling.li/rpms/HelixPlayer, as a verification of the spec file.
1,2) Thanks for the fixes, I've merged them into the Fedora spec file. 3) I tried -k and it didn't work.
Just wondering why "gold" appears in the version number. I think it is unnecessary and makes things troublesome---for example, you have to bump the epoch for 1.0.1. Why not remove it from the version and mention "gold" somewhere, say, in Summary?
I was just trying to track upstream's versioning. I'll remove it for the next upstream version.
