Buildroots for RHEL

[David Lutterkort]

Hi all,

I just noticed that http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/buildgroups/ now
has buildgroups for RHEL; alas, at least for RHEL4, they are broken.

When trying to use them, I ran into two problems:
     1. the buildsys-build rpm does not pull in python; that's actually
        two problems: 
             A. rpmbuild complains that 'el' is not a valid macro name,
                and ignores the conditionals in the specfile that should
                add a dependency on python, (filed as bz#211511)
             B. the buildsys site has old RPM's. Who maintains that ?
     2. buildsys-macros depends on rpmdevtools, which does not exist for
        RHEL. A patch against the specfile from [1] is attached; it
        removes the use of rpmdevtools completely. Where are the
        specfiles for buildsys-macros maintained ? Couldn't find them in
        CVS.
