From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows; U; AIIEEEE!; Win98; Windows 98; en-US; Gecko masquerading as IE; should it matter?; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217 Description of problem: Fails to compile (prep patch fails) when selinux disabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vixie-cron-4.1-36 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.rpm -v -ba --define "WITH_SELINUX 0" vixie-cron.spec 2. 3. Actual Results: Fails at patch13. Expected Results: Should compile properly Additional info:
SELinux is an integral part of Fedora Core and our packages are designed to support it . If you wish to build a Linux system that does not support SELinux, you are free to do so, but it will not be Fedora Core . vixie-cron does not need to compile without SELinux; hence, this is NOTABUG . For the enhanced version of vixie-cron I am working on, SELinux support is in separate source files, which should make compilation with SELinux much easier.
I have already successssfully patched and recompiled the entired FC4 set of applications (including extras) without SELINUX. I have patched all broken spec files which is where the problems have been in most cases. So, contrary to what you say, it *is* Fedora Core.
