Patch for ntl.spec to add gf2x support

Description of problem:
I am working on a package that uses NTL.  Its documentation says that NTL should be built with gf2x support to get acceptable speed.  I have submitted the gf2x package, and it has been approved.  It is now available in F18 and F19, and is in updates-testing for F17.  Would you please apply the attached patch to build with gf2x?  The patch also fixes a problem with the current package: there are no %post and %postun scripts that call ldconfig.

If you would like a comaintainer for ntl, I'm willing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ntl-5.5.2-7.fc18

sure no problem, thanks for catching the scriptlet error.

(and feel free to apply for acl's and commit it if that interests you at all...)

otherwise, I'll probably have a chance to look at this by the weekend.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2012-08-16 18:41:19 UTC
meh applying patch now, and would still be happy for another comaintainer.
