An RPM spec file to for strongSwan
userland (*Update*: check out this web log entry on strongSwan SRPM). I’m
using this in FC2 (Linux 2.6) installs now, since the RPMs linked to
by strongSwan are older
than what looks like the current release. I do wish make rpm
worked in packaging/redhat in strongSwan. Sort of. I also note
that apparently SUBDIRS has special meaning when supplied on the
command line/in the environment to GNU make, and I can’t find a way to
disable this behavior. Update: I actually forgot to include the
patch used in the spec file, and I’ve since powered off and stored the
box that I was building on. To create the patch, unpack strongSwan,
cd into the directory, and then something like cp
Makefile{,.orig} && perl -pi -e 's/SUBDIRS/STRONGSWAN_SUBDIRS/g'
Makefile && diff -u Makefile{.orig,} >
strongswan-2.1.2-makefile.patch and copy
strongswan-2.1.2-makefile.patch into your RPM SOURCES
directory.
Also, a side note mainly for myself. The list of packages I like to install after a minimal install of FC2: lynx elinks w3m screen cvs strace ntp ncftp vim-enhanced
