Hi, Buchan !

Stupid question by me,
but how must i rebuild the srpm on ScientificLinux/RHEL, i've got this
error

  rpmbuild --rebuild xymon-4.2.3-1.rhel5.src.rpm

sh: %{mdkversion}/10: syntax error: operand expected (error token is 
"%{mdkversion}/10")
sh: %{mdkversion}/10: syntax error: operand expected (error token is 
"%{mdkversion}/10")
Fehler: Fehlgeschlagene Paket-Abhängigkeiten:
         fping wird benötigt von xymon-4.2.3-0.1.mdk.i386

This is a by-product of me re-using the Mandriva source RPM (as I do for a lot of other packages), and relying on some Mandriva macros.

.. i know, a simple rpm-question :-(

Grab this file, and drop it in /etc/rpm :

http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/SRPMS/openldap/macros.mdk4rh

I'll add an error message to this effect (as I did on the OpenLDAP packages) on the next packages.

Buchan
