New RPM-Spec-Mode

Monday, March 31st, 2008

The rpm-spec-mode in Fedora’s emacs packages and previous Emacs 23 packages cannot interface correctly with rpmbuild. rpmbuild cannot write to its output Emacs buffer: Redhat Bugzilla #227418. In emacs-23.0.60-0.10.20080330cvs I switched the rpm-spec-mode lisp file to Chip Coldwell’s updated mode based on compilation-mode. This fixes the rpmbuild output buffer at the cost of breaking automatic RPM signatures. Of course rpm --resign or rpm --addsign still signs the produced RPMs.

Update: emacs-22.1-1.fc9 and emacs-23.0.60-0.13.20080424cvs both have this compilation-mode-derived rpm-spec-mode with working GPG signing.

ZendFramework Packages

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

The other day I added Alexander Kahl’s packages to my yum repository for ZendFramework. Alex posted them on Redhat Bugzilla bugs #421241, #437785 and #437801. I’ll continue to host them until Fedora reviews and adopts them into the main repositories. Thanks Alex.
