Description Jonathan Underwood 2015-07-09 00:02:57 UTC

Description of problem:
BZ #709470 was fixed by adding ownership of /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs to javapackages-tools. Surely it would be better for javapackages-tools to instead Require rpm-build (and drop the ownership of that directory) - it's not possible to create a java package without rpmbuild on the system.

Comment 1 Mikolaj Izdebski 2015-07-09 08:48:28 UTC

Is there some problem with directory ownership? Or is this just an enhancement request?

Adding requires on rpm-build doesn't make sense - javapackages-tools works fine without it, macros and rpmfc generators provided by javapackages-tools enhance rpm and rpm-build, but are not the primary use case.

Comment 2 Jonathan Underwood 2015-07-09 09:57:24 UTC

There's not a problem with the directory ownership as such, it just struck me as maybe the wrong solution. But, since you say javapackages-tools does what it needs without rpm-build, I'll close this.
