[Confuse-devel] libconfuse 2.7 spec file issues

[Dieter GORECKI]

Hi,

The spec file currently provided with libconfuse 2.7 is broken, at least with RHEL 6.x x86_64. Here is a list of things that should be fixed in order to make it work :

- the COPYING file doesn't exist

- the "Copyright" tag doesn't exist, it should be "License" instead.

(These 2 points have already been pointed out in a 2009 email in this list...)

- the libraries directory should be lib64 instead of lib

- the package config file is not generated 

Here is a patch to fix these issues :

I know this project is likely to be dead so I don't have much expectations for my patch to be merged, but I hope it will help save time to people needing to compile rpms ...
