name created by rpmbuild

[debora liu]

hello denx

I'm using rpmbuild, but it creat rpm packet name is "NAME-ppc_8xx-VERSION-RELEASE.ppc.rpm",
I think it should is "NAME-VERSION-RELEASE.ppc.rpm", true?
I use native rpmbuild on my board with eldk-3.1.1 PPC8xx NFS root.

You asked the same question just two days ago. Why do you ask  again?

Thanks.

No, wrong. "*.ppc.rpm" indicates a "standard"  RPM  from  some  Linux
distribution,  like  a  Fedora Core PowerPC RPM. Such an RPM will NOT
run on your MPC8xx system, and your ppc_8xx created RPM will not  run
on  a  Fedora Core PowerPC system. Differences are caused for example
by support for a FPU and adjustment for different cache  line  sizes.
To  avoid confusion, MPC8xx specific RPMs are created using a special
name which makes clear that they are compatible with the  ELDK  RPMs,
but not with other PowerPC RPMs.

Native rpmbuild and cross rpmbuild are compatible  with  each  other,
but not with RPMs from other PowerPC Linux distributions.
