Hi Keith, great work! Just a question:First we have Zlib. The binaries are built for 68000, and libs are included[..]And here is OpenSSH 5.5p1, built for either 68000 or 68020-60. To install the 68020-60 versions, modifications need to be made to Sparemint's rpmrc file adding the m68k020mint target.What is the reason for this inconsistency? I mean, wouldn't be better to have zlib-m68k020mint then, too?
Hello Miro,Sort of twofold reasoning. The first being I have yet been able to write a working spec file using conditionals from the target variable. For instance, I tell zlib I was the 020 target, but I end up with librries outside of the m68020-60 lib directory because the conditionals fail.
So, to fix this, I just modified the file to build and deal with all 3 targets at once. This comes up to my other reasoning. Basically, for most packages, only developers need the libs, so I was thinking that we include all targets with the hope that developers do work on each target.
