Comment:
Hello, I've been working in the RPMs the last days improving the
compatibility with other distros. Now it compiles ok in Fedora, OpenSuse
and CentOS 6.
I have done some research and I think we cannot do a single package that
fits all distros, correct me if I'm wrong.
I have run tests against CentOS, Suse and Fedora and I have found these
problems:
* Different path in Suse documentation files.
* Different dependencies because the package names are not the same
across distros.
* RPM in CentOS 5 uses MD5 as hash algorithm, and don't support the SHA
of newer distros.
* CentOS 5 ships python 2.4.3, but >= 2.5.0 is needed.
We can generate distro-specific RPMs from the same spec file if we have
the right build environment. I have updated my repo with all the changes,
and I include the RPMs generated in my Fedora system.
As it seems it will be a while until the packages reach the Tor repos, I'm
going to submit these packages to Fedora for revision (a long process,
too).
