Ok, does anyone know if there's actually a way of building rpm3 packages
with rpm4? If not, is there someone else, that does have rpm3 installed,
that can make the builds?
This whole process of building abispell packages has become pretty
tedious and full of surprises and turn-arounds. I certainly hope that we
actually will get this settled soon enough! (I mean, building abispell
packages is not really rocket-science. I can't believe all the problems
such a small feat have caused.)
Take care
