Hello, i'm new to this list but i use courier-mta since v. 0.43.
Now i got a new server with Fedora Core 3 installed, and i can't
build rpms out of courier-0.48.tar.bz2 because fam (and fam-devel)
was removed from distribution and courier relies on it.
I have successfully build RPMs on Fedora Core 3. I ususally use apt from
apt.freshrpms.net to keep my packages up to date. I don't remember if I had
to install fam/fam-devel, and I don't currently have access to the new
server (it's still in testing, and hidden behind a couple firewalls), but I
do know I built RPMs successfully, without building anything from source and
without modifying the spec file.
I also use yum to keep system uptodate from freshrpms, but I can't
find fam there (and neither on newrpms, dag and dries repos).
Did u upgrade your fedora core 2 to core 3 or it was
a fresh install? Maybe if u upgraded, fam rpm has been left
there by anaconda.
However, I managed to resolve dependency by installing
gamin-devel (gamin is substitute for fam in core 3, and
gamin-devel for fam-devel).
Now when I try to build i get:
courier-authlib-devel is needed by courier-0.48-1.3.i386
It's an alternative download? Should not be courier package
all-inclusive? If so the 'You do not need to download anything
else if you download this package.' sentence on website download
page should be removed.
Thanks,
