did anyone ask centos to simply build with this flag to
enable these features?
The CentOS bug tracker is open for suggestions from all
The RHEL buildsystem flags used are not published
systematically by Red Hat, in any venue that I am that I am
aware of. Obviously command line 'defines' and build
environment cause certain conditionals in a .spec file to be
triggered, one way or the other. Also the presence of -devel
type packages in a build chroot, not explicitly enumerated
through BuildRequires cause the auto-tools to add options
conditionally. Tool versions not publically released
sometimes are used to build packages [there were 'header
marks' from a gcc [and implied toolchain], that was never
externally released by Red Hat in the early 6 series, as I
recall]. And so on. The complexity explodes combinatorially
... and so a SRPM rebuild effort [of which CentOS is one]
builds, and tests, sometimes with ldd, and sometimes in other
ways, to see that a 'close enough' reproduction of the
binaries issued by Red Hat, are achieved
Out of curiousity, _what_ build environment 'flags' do you
all, participating in this thread, refer to? -- the thread
does not enumerate them explicitly, and one cannot expect to
hit by 'indirect fire', a target not exposed
With best regards, this New Year's eve
