Description David Woodhouse 2007-11-23 13:33:44 UTC
Spec URL: http://david.woodhou.se/ppc64-utils/powerpc-utils.spec
SRPM URL: http://david.woodhou.se/ppc64-utils/powerpc-utils-1.0.6-1.fc9.src.rpm
Description: Utilities for PowerPC platforms

We used to ship this as part of the ppc64-utils package. That package should die, because it's a mess.

Without the attached patch, I get the following build error on ppc64:

Comment 2 David Woodhouse 2007-11-27 20:23:57 UTC
It should build fine in mock, I believe. We default to -m64 there.

This is just one of the many reasons why shipping all the -devel packages for
the secondary arch is nonsense. It simply doesn't work.

Comment 3 Josh Boyer 2007-11-27 21:03:47 UTC
Yes, it builds in mock.  Ignore.

Comment 4 Josh Boyer 2007-11-27 21:44:59 UTC
