I tried to install under openSuse 11 and I got:
warning: user camrein does not exist - using root
warning: group camrein does not exist - using root




Yes. When you install a src.rpm, rpm always show this. It's because cpio try to keep the login:group of the original packager.

Also:
X11-devel is needed by upp-2008.1-1.i586
xft2-devel is needed by upp-2008.1-1.i586
expat-devel is needed by upp-2008.1-1.i586

X11-devel is xorg-x11-devel and expat is libexpat-devel.




Please, can you show me the output of this 2 commands:

# rpm -q --provides xorg-x11-devel
# rpm -q --provides libexpat-devel

If they give me what I want, your distro as mine will works out of the box with the src.rpm.

Unfortunately, the old problem with Linux (and rpm) not providing a stable and reliable environment for software distribution and detection shows it's ugly head.

I don't think that it is possible to create a cross distro rpm. Only if you strip out all dependencies. Or create a rpm for each distro, which would be an extremely tedious and may I day cruel task.


Me too, I don't understand why they don't talk to each other to have an unique name for each "--provides".
At least, rpm show us the name to search for.

Next, the rpm build. Did it works out of the box?

(many thanks for your previous post)
