[Freeipmi-devel] Patch to .spec for building on SLES

[Levi Pearson]

Here's a message and patch from Troy Telford, one of the LNXI system
software engineers in charge of maintaining our HiPer package
repository:

Attatched is the patch I made to the freeipmi .specfile.

The problem is pretty simple:  on Red Hat distros, the macro
%{_initrddir} 
evaluates to /etc/rc.d/init.d

On SuSE distros, it evaluates to /etc/init.d/

So, this means on SuSE distros (and others, I'm sure), when it tries to
move 
files from /etc/init.d to %{_initrddir}, it refuses to do anything and
exits 
with an error.  (As both the source and destination are the same file).

This patch adds a simple conditional to check if %{_initrddir} !
= /etc/init.d 
before doing anything.
