core-prereq but not lcfg-logserver

The dependencies for most of the “core” packages are now in the “core-prereq” section of lcfg_f20_lcfg.rpms. (Summary: lots of perl modules.) I got them by wiping and reinstalling my F20 VM with “Minimal Install”, adding the local yum repo definition, and using yum to install each core RPM.

I’ve noticed another package that’s missing from the core section. It’s lcfg-logserver. I’ve tried building it – making the usual specfile changes – but it won’t build. It seems that the RPM build is failing to find a man page, even though the %files section of the specfile just specifies a glob. Something to do with gzipping (or not) the man pages, I’m guessing. I haven’t figured it out yet. The build logs are all online for anyone with a DICE account, and if you don’t have one of those then make yourself an iFriend account which is almost as shiny. If you think you know what might be going wrong here, please get in touch.

Oh, and lcfg-file has joined the happy F20 throng, at version 1.2.1-1.
