If only there was a way to encourage the monkeys on your back to
pick up a shovel and start digging on some of your lower priority
tasks...potentially saving you cycles. Though i think, that would
require you posting a priority list for your tasks, which would burn a
few cycles to do. I wonder...how many people would actually volunteer to
help you work on some of the lower priority coding issues, if they were
made aware what they were.

The bottom of your .rpmmacos file contains the following lines:
# The following will try to create any missing directories
# required above (Not implemented yet)
My solution is to add the following to the top of the file:
# a macro to create a directory if it doesn't exist and then
# echo the name of the directory.
%dir() %( [ -d %1 ] || mkdir %1; echo %1 )
You can then change
%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild
to
%_topdir %dir $HOME/rpmbuild
same for %_sourcedir, %_specdir, etc.
Cheers

No, I meant if *your* rebuild of Mysql produces a statically linked
mysqld. If so try to get rid of it. afaik LD_ASSUME_KERNEL won't have
much effect on statically linked applications.

Did you look into the issue about mysqld possibly beeing statically
linked ?

more FC2 wishlists.
by Richard June
This is probably too late for FC2, but NAS(Network Audio System) as well
as arts built for nas support would be nice. neither has much impact on
other parts of the system and both make setting up audio in terminals a
*lot* easier
