I thought "rpmbuild -bb" builds a binary RPM only ;-)
But anyway, we do not even have the spec files Ian used for 3.4.
There are three RPMs now
Squeak.*.rpm ("Full" image+changes) which depends on both
Squeak-sources.*.rpm (the sources file) and
Squeak-vm.*.rpm (the VM)
The only one making trouble currently is the Squeak-vm-3.4-1.i386.rpm,
right?
Additionally, there could be a
Squeak-plugin.*.rpm (squeakland image) which would also depend on
Squeak-vm.*.rpm (the VM)
We need all these different RPMs because they are updated at different
frequencies. And the plugin image is different from the Full Squeak
image, but needs the VM, too. Is that too geeky? Supposed that the RPMs
work, I'd think it is okay.
That said, could anybody give these RPMs a try?
