--- Comment #10 from Gratien D'haese <gratien.dhaese at it3.be>  2008-10-29 11:46:20 EDT ---
Updated the rear.spec file and rear source rpm: 

Spec URL: http://home.scarlet.be/gdha/rear.spec
SRPM URL: http://home.scarlet.be/gdha/rear-1.7.8-1.fc9.src.rpm

Our development version 1.7.8 has been uploaded to SF:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=171835&package_id=287824

Some additional remarks on the rpmlint output - see further:

$ rpmlint -i RPMS/noarch/rear-1.7.8-1.fc9.noarch.rpm 
rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/doc/rear-1.7.8/contrib
./usr/share/rear/contrib
The relative symbolic link points nowhere.

rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/rear/skel/default/bin/sh
bash
The relative symbolic link points nowhere.

rear.noarch: W: hidden-file-or-dir /usr/share/rear/skel/default/.bash_history
The file or directory is hidden. You should see if this is normal, and delete
it from the package if not.

rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/doc/rear-1.7.8/README
./usr/share/rear/README
The relative symbolic link points nowhere.

rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/doc/rear-1.7.8/CHANGES
./usr/share/rear/CHANGES
The relative symbolic link points nowhere.

rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/rear/skel/default/init
bin/init
The relative symbolic link points nowhere.

rear.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/share/rear/skel/default/var/log/lastlog
rear.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/share/rear/skel/default/var/lib/nfs/state
rear.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/share/rear/skel/default/etc/mtab
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 3 errors, 6 warnings.

Comment 1: The zero-length errors are normal as we need those empty files
during the creation of the ROOT file system image of the rescue system. These
files are needed once we boot from ReaR.iso to have a sane rescue system.

Comment 2: the relative symbolic link points nowhere errors are normal as these
will become meaningful when the package gets installed.

Comment 3: the .bash_history file lives under the /usr/share/rear/skel
structure, which gets tar'ed to the final ROOT file system of the rescue
environment. So, it is meant to be a hidden file.

I hope this is OK for you?
best regards,
Gratien D'haese
