[ghostbunny]

hi guys,

i tryed to build an update for nano (console text editor).

building works greate but on install i gut the message for duplicated packages so i uninstalled and added an

Code:

Obsoletes %name < %version

in the specfile and rebuild the rpmdb to get the # in the rpm name away but it does not work.

Tryed to install via

Code:

rpm -Uvh nano...rpm

thanks in advance

Edit: Links removed, send package to dropbox

I grabbed a copy of your SRPM and the package builds without problems on my 32-bit MiniMe build system. I then installed the rpm package on my 32-bit MiniMe test system with rpm -Uvh <name_of_package> without any problems whatsoever and nano runs just fine. Here's the output of nano -V:

Thanks KernelKarter for testing, so i'll put the srpm in the dropbox.

think i messed something up with my synaptic/rpm database.

Hope after update from reposerver i got the normal thing back

Just letting you know that it builds, installs and runs perfectly on my 64-bit test rig

nice to hear that the %{_lib} makro works

[KernelKarter]

I don't see that macro in your SPEC file anywhere but nevertheless, the 64-bit deps were installed:

Ok so its in the repo, I guess its time an issue showed up....

Nano as it is atm (if used in a smaller terminal) will break up long lines of text and save them as separate lines rendering config files useless if saved

This is actually an old behaviour that was fixed via the method explained HERE

that is strange, softwrap is via patch activated.

could you check /etc/nanorc if this happens? on my system it is active and yes it does not wok if i use the space key on the end of the line i get a new line

i will look at this tomorrow

hi hooti,

i checked everything again, the configuration of compiling and rpm setup should right for softwrap i have no idea why nano break the line i you press the space bar on the line end.

there is no problem when i switch to nowrap

how did you fix it on your maschine soft- or nowrap?

I used the soft-wrap line in teh link and its usable again, its odd as it seems to have been a one off while using metacity wm as a standalone, (I usually use ratpoison in a full screen mode for editing purposes )

So all is ok again, if it happens again I will post back with more detail.
