Fedora Extras

  • Fixed the scriptlets for ORBit-devel to ensure that they didn't cause a failure exit status (and hence failed transactions resulting in multiple packages being recorded in the RPM database)

  • Updated perl-Math-Pari to 2.010709, but only in development; there's no changes in this release that make pushing an update for current distributions worthwhile

Local Packages

Updated my buildsystem so that I can build "pukka" Fedora Core 6 packages and development packages are now tagged .fc7. The main non-triviality here was that I had to pull yum-arch from a Fedora Core 5 box so as to be able to create the metadata for legacy distributions, since yum-arch is no longer available in Fedora Core 6. I'll eventually get round to packaging yum-arch up as a separate package and maybe even submit it to Extras.
