Re: [cx-oracle-users] Question on Cx_Oracle module on Fedora Core 3 and AIX

[Anthony T. <an...@co...>]

First, let me tell you that I am no expert on creating RPMs. I have 
simply been using "python setup.py bdist_rpm" and posting the results. 
They work but are fairly limited, as you already noted. :-) Misa, can 
you indicate what is different in your RPMs? If I can use a specific 
SPEC file which is more intelligent rather than the default one 
generated by distutils, I'd be quite happy to do so.

BTW, you should be able to build the cx_Oracle module from source 
yourself directly using setup.py.
