It's difficult to build correct binary RPMs until you work out how to trick the RedHat system.

That should allow you to build your own binary RPMs. Use "rpmbuild -bb --target=xxx powerswitch.spec". -- Charlie Brady [email protected] Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 592 5660 or 592 2122 Fax: +1 (613) 592 1175 A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right.

Summary: driver for ATX power switch
Name: powerswitch
Version: 1.5
Release: 1cb
License: freeware
Group: System Environment/Kernel
Vendor: Mitel Networks Corporation
Source0: http://workshy.org/download/powerswitch-1.5.tar.gz
Packager: Charlie Brady <[email protected]>
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-root
%define modules /lib/modules/%{kversion}-%{krelease}
BuildRequires: kernel-source = %{kversion}-%{krelease}
Requires: kernel = %{kversion}-%{krelease}
%description
The powerswitch driver makes it possible to use the ATX power button
on your computer to shutdown Linux. You simply press the power button,
and the driver shuts down Linux and powers off the machine, just like
the shutdown command does.
