[Libexif-devel] assorted patches (mostly rpm build related)

[Daniel R. <no...@me...>]

Hello fellows

As I might use libexif in the not so distant future I wanted to check it
out. Since the latest released versions doesn't compile i decided to try
out HEAD cvs and to my great joy it worked out nicely.

A few details:

- the exif/exif directory in cvs should really be removed manually so
that new users doesn't get confused when they forget to check out with
-P

- typo in exif.1 (see attachment 0)

- i wrote a .spec file for exif (see attachment 1). Just add exif.spec
to AC_OUTPUT in configure.in and to EXTRA_DIST in Makefile.am

- patched libexif.spec to not hardcode the library version number,
header names and include libexif.so (attachment 2)

- my version of automake (automake-1.6.3-3) seems to have a 'make
distcheck' implementation that gets confused by the empty
CONFIG_CLEAN_FILES (then it doesn't remove libexif.spec on distclean).
Removing the parameter from Makefile.am entirely fixes the problem

- patched also libmnote specfile (attahcment 3)

One issue that I don't see an obvious solution to is the fact that
gettextize edits configure.in and Makefile.am when it is called through
./autogen.sh. I see the point in having intl/ symlinked in from the
current version, but the changing of the mentioned files above makes
sending in patches against cvs difficult, so I think that those changes
should be applied to cvs HEAD.


That's all for now.
