Re: Porting RedHat's SRPMS for Aurora (Flame On...)

Well... I was also very interested in updates to sendmail... especially 
since I run some firewalls and servers on Aurora-SPARC Linux. Some of 
the updates are looong overdue (sendmail being the most "famous").

There is another mailing list for security specifically:
http://lists.linuxpower.org/mailman/listinfo/aurora-sparc-security

and there is already a discussion on "Errata for bind/sendmail/openssl" 
(see archives for March 2003: 
http://lists.linuxpower.org/pipermail/aurora-sparc-security/2003-March/thread.html 
)

Aparently the maintainer of the errata packages, Jeremy Huber, is a bit 
busy these days and has not had the opportunity to keep them as current 
as he/we might like.

I went ahead and downloaded the errata sources for sendmail from Red Hat 
directly. I just went ahead and built them on my SPARC box and installed 
them. They built without complaint. So far they seem to work fine.

Until the errata/security updates get more current I too would be 
interested in any guidlines one should follow in building Red Hat SRPMs 
for Aurora-SPARC Linux.
