Does .spec file that comes with the tarball have any problems, apart from Copyright/License?

not that I know if

you are the 1st one who complains...

it could be that 2 spec files are in the tarball....maybe you should check that, one if for cvs-daily-tarballs and one for the bulld of the release-rpm. but maybe not..

no only one spec file, but you should look at it mayb sections like:

Distribution:   SuSE Linux 9.3 (i586)

disturb your build on fc4

you can simple unpack it, change the spec file, and tar.gz it back up

and no I havent tryed it since I run gentoo at my home box, and have fc4 on a vmware box...

what would help more is if you could actually post some errors here...

have you tryed compiling amule yourself first? since if that wont work, then building the rpms will also not

here it comes:

error: magic_file(ms, "/var/tmp/aMule-2.0.3-build/usr/share/doc/aMule-2.0.3/ABOUT-NLS") failed: cannot open `/var/tmp/aMule-2.0.3-build/usr/share/doc/aMule-2.0.3/ABOUT-NLS' (No such file or directory)
rpmbuild: rpmfc.c:1229: rpmfcClassify: Assertion `ftype != ((void *)0)' failed.
Aborted

plus, it gives so many warning during the build process, is it normal?

about the warnings,
yes that most often just some info for us, so we dont forget things...

about your error,
its looking for the ABOUT-NLS in
share/doc/aMule-2.0.3/
instead of
share/doc/

you have gettext and gettext-devel installed?

i have just looked at /var/tmp/aMule-2.0.3-build/usr/share/doc/ and it just contains aMule-2.0.3 directory, and ABOUT-NLS has not been copied to this directory, as well-as some other files, like doxyfile, (i removed ABOUT-NLS from the tarball and the makefiles it gave the same error for doxyfile)

In my opinion, the directory should contain:
ABOUT-NLS, amulesig.txt, amule-win32.HOWTO.txt, ....TODO

but it only contains,
AUTHORS  Changelog  ED2K-Links.HOWTO  license.txt  README

Now, if i remove all the non-contained(is it a word?) files from the build process(from make files, etc..), will it do any harm, in the end they are in .../docs/ directory

what do you say?

it wont do any harm if you remove them no...

funny is that it dont find them there,

what you could do aswell, just as a test
dl the amule-cvs tarball from

http://amule.hirnriss.net

and try to build that, it also contains a spec file but a different one...
