Re: [Linuxcoe-devel] Update on packaging

Hello,

Back to building packages for LinuxCOE, phase II (sorry for the delay).

Ok, that's now in the code. In fact I used 2 files, one for external
info changelog which contains what I need and is my current log format.
That allows to cretae the %changelog section and the NEWS file.

Also I use the tools cvs2cl and svn2cl to generate the ChangeLog files
from the CMS. + an pbauthors file which creates the AUTHORS file and is
used by the svn2cl tool.

While trying to adapt my LinuxCOE pbconf tree to that, I encountered
another issue, I think I mentioned earlier, but which is now hurting
because it prevents me from creating the packages in the VM:

configure: error: can not automatically integrate with Apache HTTP
server

My VMs try to keep the minimum needed to just allow the build of a
software, not its installation. So I still think that those checks
(which are useful) should be rather done at install time, rather than at
build time.

Bruno.
Any Idea ?
