[fdo-internals] Hosting FDO 3.5 builds / Binaries for CentOS and Ubuntu

[Traian Stanev]

Hi Trevor,

On 64-bit Debian-based systems, you get the /usr/lib64 directory for all 64 bit libs, instead of /usr/lib. I don't know about other distros.

Hi Helio,

I have been working on Ubuntu packaging for the 32 bit build and have just had a chance to look at your fdo.spec and patch file.  I have a few questions:

Does Linux have a /usr/lib64 in addition to a /lib64?

Are you still building to /usr/local?  From my Ubuntu work, installing packages to /usr/local seems to be a bit of a no-no.  The Ubuntu lintian tool generate a whole whack of errors when I try to target /usr/local.

Do we want to break each provider out into a separate install package (rpm on Fedora/CentOS, deb on Ubuntu/Debian)?

Also, the RegistryUtility patch seems reasonable to me.

Thanks,
Trevor

Hello all 

I just did today RPM for FDO trunk, in Fedora 12, using the CMake Build.
I called 3.5.0 anyway, with 0.1 as rpm release. Done for both 32 bits and 64 bits. Is suitable for Mandriva too with a little tweaks.
Attached is the spec and a patch to approve commit in lib64.
I tried to made it as simple as possible.
