79	Errors when building survex RPM for fedora	jmbegley	Olly Betts	"There are 2 errors with the survex.spec file when attempting to build a RPM for fedora 23. These are:

1) The survex mime file has moved from /usr/share/mime/survex* to /usr/share/mime/packages/survex.xml so the %files section of the spec file needs updating, and

2) Fedora 23 has upgraded to RPM version 4.13, which is fussier about empty package files. By default an empty 'survex-debug' package will be built, which will now cause the rpmbuild process to fail. Google suggests that the 'fix' for this is to include

# workaround for rpm 4.13
%define _empty_manifest_terminate_build 0

in the spec file - I just added this before the %description section and the build then worked fine.

Cheers,
James"	defect	closed	minor	1.2.26	Other	1.2.25	fixed	survex rpm
