When trying to rebuild PostgreSQL 7.1.3 from source rpm last night on a
RH 7.0 box w/ all updates I ran into the
following issues.
When specifying --define 'python 0' it still requires python-devel
packages (which are not installed). The attached patch should fix that
unless there is a reason that python-devel is needed for the other packages?
It then blew up with an error trying to build the tkpkg saying it
couldn't find some X related headers (I don't have X-devel installed),
so I did a --define 'tkpkg 0' and it then failed trying to install
pgaccess/pgaccess. Should the .spec require X-devel as a prereq when
building the tkpkg? Should we wrap the pgaccess installation section in
checks to make sure that tkpkg has been defined and built?
