Re: SeLinux packages compiled smoothly on ppc (after some help ..)

[Wolfgang Pfeiffer <roto@gmx.net>]

Sorry I have to paste  below the content from the archives - By a stupid
accident ("rm -rf *" in the wrong directory: I did this dozens of times
the last 2 days: This time in the wrong dir :) I lost all my mails ... I
had to let nsa Majordomo send me the archives of the messages from the
last few days.

Here's Russell Cokers archived message that I will answer  below (I hope
I didn't destroy the correct formatting of Russell's message):

Looks like you got the wrong version of these two.

File a FTBFS bug against dpkg in the Debian BTS.

Then you need to run "autoconf" before building it, otherwise you don't get SE 
Linux support.

Please make them available for the benefit of other people.

I have a problem in downloading the openssh sources from
http://selinux.lemuria.org/newselinux/ssh/
with a 
apt-get source openssh

This command will download me a package from the debian mirrors I have
in my sources list, but not the package from
<http://selinux.lemuria.org/newselinux>
that I also have in my sources list.

Is there a possibility to downlowd the openssh sources from
http://selinux.lemuria.org/newselinux manually and then create the
debian/ dir in the unpacked openssh dir with dpkg-source, or a with
similar tool?

I know I could simply try replace the original 
openssh_3.8.1p1-7.diff.gz from the debian mirror with the 
http://selinux.lemuria.org/newselinux/ssh/openssh_3.8.1p1-7.se1.diff.gz

But I'm not sure whether this will mess up the resulting binary ... so
if possible I'd like to run a standard build with one of the
apt/dpkg/whatever tools on Debian

Second:
The compile errors probably will disappear if I run "autoconf" as you
told -- But is it neccessary to run "autoconf" for every build I was
reporting yesterday, or definitely just for the 2 (dpkg, ssh) you were
mentioning?

Thanks in anticipation

Note:
Sorry for the slightly pedantic procedure here: But I'd like to make the
resulting packages available for others, too ...

Note 2:
Those who sent me private mails the last 2 days are invited to send them
again to me, if possible: I lost, as I said, all mails this afternoon: I
have all mails that were double-sent to me *and* this list (Thanks to
nsa Majordomo :) ...


Thanks in anticipation

Regards
Wolfgang
