First you can install what you want and then compile the packages from SRPMs and then install them with rpm --i --force option. This is what I do normally. I recompile X (XFree86 in old days and now xorg) for athlon architecture. Also if time permits I re-compile kde specific rpms too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Wilkinson" <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 1:11 PM Subject: Re: Installing Fedora through source rpms? > Some time back, minn-tarot1024@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > Is it possible to build/install fedora 2 from source rpms so that we > > can optimize the binary, just like Gentoo? > > Not easily. > > You'd be looking at taking each source RPM, modifying the configuration > inside that SRPM, and running rpmbuild on it. > > It's possible, but it's not particularly automated. > > James. > > -- > E-mail address: james@ | Blessed are the pessimistic, for they take backups. > westexe.demon.co.uk | > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list >
