Hi Sérgio,
Is there a proceedure I can use to build the f19 srpm's for f18? Or is it just a
simple rpmbuild --rebuild ?
rpmbuild --rebuild works ... , but if you have 64 bits you might have to
build for i686 also which is not easy with rpmbuild, so for this reason
and others, I prefer use mock:
mock -r fedora-18-x86_64-rpmfusion_nonfree --rebuild src.rpm
and
mock -r fedora-18-i386-rpmfusion_nonfree --rebuild src.rpm
you need install mock and configure it
http://www.serjux.com/alps/how_to_use_mock.txt
and also install from rpmfusion
mock-rpmfusion-free-19.0-1.fc18.noarch
mock-rpmfusion-nonfree-19.0-1.fc18.noarch
to have mock config files for fedora-18-x86_64-rpmfusion_nonfree.
Go luck :)
