I am trying to put together a Redhat exim RPM to submit to Fedora. I am
running into one problem. Make buildconfig refuses to continue unless
EXIM_USER and EXIM_GROUP are already installed on the system.
This is unfortunate, since it means we must add the passwd entries at build
time, rather than at install time. I believe this is not really standard
behaviour for a source RPM build.
I wonder, can I just remove the checks from buildconfig.c to allow the build
to proceed anyway? Then patch config.h to add
#define EXIM_UID 93
#define EXIM_GID 93
Any other suggestion?
