Again thanks for this. You should send these things to splashy-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org... makes it easier for the rest of us...<br><br>Again, I'll test and commit. There is also a ksplashy utility on the way... hopefully they can use the same spec file ...

Subject: Splashy spec file for fedora 8<br>
<br>
Hi<br>
<br>
Really like splashy. Great effort. I was lucky you guys moved to a shared library install recently otherwise I would have had to build all the static libs myself (/groan).<br>
<br>
I have modified the default spec file to the point where it can be built on Fedora 8, so I guess any Red Hat based distro with a few modifications.<br>
<br>
I wanted to install the files into the base /sbin but I couldn't figure that bit out (or it just wouldn't do it).<br>
<br>
A couple of issue I can see:<br>
<br>
The lib dir is hardcoded to /usr/lib. 64 bit OS's need this to be /usr/lib64 but this might change in future. This might be better handled in the configure/autogen.<br>
<br>
the language files were not being packaged so I added a line in %files (there is a language command but it was commented out.)<br>
<br>
The softlink to the themes directory was moved to a post install step. Once the ln command uses rpm variables this should add some flexibility.<br>
<br>
I have splashy run as early as possible during boot so it is in rc.sysint right after udev is started and /dev/fb0 is available. Of course this is undesirable because fedora are unlikely to make splashy replace rhgb (redhat's version of splashy) in the near future. However it works and works quite well.
<br>
<br>
I thought I would let you have this even though it is a bit rough around the edges just to get some of the changes into 0.3.7. On a side note I am loading the nvidia proprietary driver from kernel video=nvidia and splashy seems to work great using this driver.
<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Rehan<br>
