[ATrpms-users] questions about atrpms

[peter abplanalp]

hi all,

i'm sorry if these are faq's but i couldn't find a good searchable archive for atrpms and my google searches weren't fruitful.  i have recently tried to rebuild 3 myth boxes on centos 5 with mixed success.  i had trouble with the madawifi kernel module and the ivtv kernel module.  also, because i use the blaster on one of my pvr150's, i can't use the atrpms lirc kernel module.

so, my questions:

1) should i be posting bugs to bugzilla for kernel modules that don't work for me?  i ask because ivtv worked on one of my 3 boxes but not the other two; however, manually compiling and installing ivtv worked just fine.  if i should post a bug, what information should i post.

2) is it possible for me to build my own rpms from the srpms?  i did find a little info on this through google but it was mostly of the sort "don't do this" due to missing macros and it probably not working anyway but the email was from 2005.  is this still the case?  if not, where can i get the latest macros?

3) it looks like a lot of the packages for centos 5 are in the testing repo.  is there a road map for getting these into the stable repo?

thanks!
