[Dump-devel] sparc rpm

[Rob C. <ce...@ah...>]

Hi.  Its me.  I'm the one with the thesis to write.  Just handed in a
partial draft and taking a little break.   I'd like to offer up a .rpm
build on a SparcLinux box.  If I grab the source, is there a particular
command other than make, to build the rpm for the release?  say maybe?

make rpm

Needless to say, I've never created a rpm before, so any pointers would
help too...

I also saw and agree that the size estimate should have been bytes, but
being unfamiliar with the code didn't want to change too much :)

At any rate, I have used a prior version of dump/restore on a SparcLinux
box to a remote i386 box with the tape drive and all was well :)  Being
the sparcLinux box was using an ext2 filesystem as well, it should have
worked.  If there are any bugs in the Sparc port, I guess I'll be glad to
take a crack at the 32 bit side.   I don't have a 64 bit machine to look
at -- I didn't win an alpha leftover from TheLinuxStore either :(

Good choice to move to dump.sourceforge.com.
