RPM conditional based on installed library?
by John Dennis
I'm not sure how to solve the following problem and I'm looking for advice.
I've got a package which uses a configure script (autotools) which
decides what loadable modules it will build based on what's available
from the installed libraries [1]. This changes what will appear in the
%files section. I control what's in the %files via an RPM variable I set
based on %{?rhel} and %{%fedora} tests.
But basing the conditional on the rhel or fedora version is fragile
because updates have changed what's available in the library. I'd prefer
to base the conditional on the library contents just like the configure
script does. But I'm not really sure how to go about this. I don't
believe there is any mechanism which would allow me to interrogate the
contents of config.status from the %build stage which would allow me to
conditionalize the contents of %files (or is there?).
I suppose I could perform a test equivalent to the one used by configure
by running a shell command early in the spec file (akin to what we
currently do to determine the Python library path, etc.)
Are there examples of solving this problem cleanly? Suggestions? Comments?
[1] For the curious the issue is the availability of elliptic curve
crypto features, something which seems to keep changing and my spec file
breaks whenever it does.

Zoneminder package in Fedora
by Timothy Ward
Zoneminder package [1] in Fedora has several packagers listed but
only one packager has been updating for several years gone by,
and upstream development had all but stopped, then the upstream
maintainer [2] released the code base to several interested community
members that have transformed it into a community driven project
on github.[3] A stable new release has been available for a while now
and numerous bugs have been fixed upline including a Fedora 19 spec
file .New features and UI are work in progess to modernise the code, is
ongoing. This includes bounty for some features that require a lot of
work and bug fixes.
Several bugs for the current version have been filed into
Bugzilla without action including the availability of the new stable
version.
What is the correct way to rectify this situation and either have the
package built by another Fedora packager or be sponsored to a Fedora
packager myself. It was suggested that I sit on the irc channel for
info and sponsorship but this is not an efficient option and would only
work when time and place permits.
Please point me to the correct procedures to be able to carry this out.
IMHO It would be a loss to the Fedora community if this package was not
part of Fedora and was taken to another repository and/or the Fedora
support files dropped from the community supported git.
