From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18 i686) I'm attempting to rebuild the XFree86 4.0.2 source rpm from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/rawhide/SRPMS/SRPMS/XFree86-4.0.2-6.src.rpm on a redhat 6.2 system. It fails because the file xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/mga/mga_g450pll.c is a dos text file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run rpm --rebuild XFree86-4.0.2-6.src.rpm Actual Results: make fails on mga_g450pll.c with error messages about "unexpected newlines". Expected Results: make should run to completion and give me a new source rpm. I'm trying to get this source rpm rebuilt for rh62. I have XFree86 402 installed from the XFree86.org web site to do this. Basically I think the patch that creates mga_g450pll.c is bad, and anyone who attempts to rebuild this source rpm will have the same problem.
This is a known glitch with the patches Matrox sent us for that release and has been corrected since then. The current Matrox patches in my latest tree still do not completely work yet, but we're working on it. Do not file bugs against Rawhide packages in Red Hat 6.2 please. They should be filed against RAWHIDE. Before filing a bug against Rawhide, you should always check the absolute latest Rawhide packages to see if the bug has been fixed already. You might also want to experiment with my personal package releases on ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/XFree86 which are usually more current than Rawhide. I release them there first for people to test, which then gets fed into rawhide. Thanks for pointing this glitch out, nonetheless!
