All views expressed on this site are my own. They do not necessarily reflect those of the Parish of Bursledon, the Diocese of Winchester or the Church of England. As such, I do not expect them all to be popular but you, the reader, can certainly expect them to be honest.

Uploaded Galeon 1.3.19 packages, in case anyone still uses it [;)]

Yet more discussion on the GPP list about using rpmbuild --with foo, this time prompted by Luis, and centred on using it to get around naming oddities across distributions. I proof-of-concepted the idea that you can define Name within a %if check, and to be honest, I think if you're walking down the road where to build packages for a given distro, you can use the CVS/tarball supplied spec file and use the --with magic, then that should also cover things like %{prefix}, rather than people also having to remember to use the right rpmmacros file.
