[gentoo-portage-dev] RPM Support

[Ron Wills]

Hi all

  I've noticed the rpm packaging support is a little broken in the
current version of portage. Currently it tries to build packages with
rpm -bb and with the newer versions of rpm it should be rpmbuild -bb. I
have a patch to fixes this (first searches for rpmbuild and then uses
rpm if it can't find it).
  Also looking into it, I've cleaned up the dynamic spec a bit and added
several features (ei. provides tag, post env-update || ldconfig, and so
on). I thought before I sent any patches, I just thought I'd inquire
about the status of this feature. I've noticed there seems to be two
streams for this project at the moment (the current portage and
portage-ng).
  I have great use for this feature and willing to implement it as fully
as I can (time permitting :P), if your interested. I just need to know
where to send the patches, for your review ;)
