[Freeipmi-devel] can't build srpm

[Dave Love]

On a current Red Hat 5 system I get a checksum mismatch:

  $ wget

rpmbuild -ts followed by rpmbuild --rebuild works.  Would this be an
RH6/RH5 incompatibility?  I can't remember what are the symptoms of the
different versions of rpm in them.

You're welcome to the rebuilt srpm, of course.
