This has been an interesting exercise for me. I believe that I have
successfully
built the RPMS for the openssl patch. I've installed the updated rpms on
my test
server, and ssl seems to be functioning just fine. The only difference
is that
when I go into webmin and look at the package, the vendor displayed is:
"(none)" rather than "whiteboxlinux.org". For those who are intested
I'll outline
how I went about building the rpms (for those who know more than I do on
the list, I welcome feedback as this is the first time I've done this).
1. entered the following commands (I found them on a web site some where):
mkdir -p --verbose ~/rpms/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
mkdir -p --verbose ~/rpms/RPMS/{i386,noarch}
echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpms" > ~/.rpmmacros
2. Downloaded the updated src.rpm
wget
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/3AS/en/os/SRPMS/openssl-0.9.7a-33.4.src.rpm
3. Installed openssl-0.9.7a-33.4.src.rpm using the following command:
rpm -i openssl-0.9.7a-33.4.src.rpm
4. navigated to ~/rpms/SPECS/ and then issue the following commands:
rpmbuild -ba --target i386 openssl.spec
rpmbuild -ba --target i486 openssl.spec
rpmbuild -ba --target i586 openssl.spec
rpmbuild -ba --target i686 openssl.spec
rpmbuild -ba --target athlon openssl.spec
The files are put in the respective directories under ~/rpms/RPMS/
Again, please let me know if you see anything that I should have done
differently.
If anyone is interested, I can make the files available (I'm just
finishing the i586 rpm now).
