[Adonthell-devel] one-line fix: RPM build from tarball

[Paul Jenner]

Hi.

Currently adonthell (0.3.2 as opposed to CVS which I haven't tried)
can't be built as an RPM direct from the distributed tarball with "rpm
-ta" as it does not contain the spec file.

A quick one line fix is:

<patch>
diff -Naur adonthell-0.3.2.orig/Makefile.am adonthell-0.3.2/Makefile.am

</patch>

In other words, adding adonthell.spec to the EXTRA_DIST should mean that
"make dist" or "make distcheck" includes it in the distribution.  The
resulting tarball can then be built direct as an RPM with "rpm -ta
<tarball>".

I hope this helps,
