Unlike other packages, the rpmdb package is intimately coupled with a compose of
an entire
distribution. The macro %{rpmdbtree} macro is passed from the compose command
line, and
permitting a rebuild of rpmdb outside of a compose requires (as yet
non-existent) conventions
for discovering the packages that are part of the compose.
So why isnt this documented. I also cant find compose on the distribution tree. Shouldnt we really be shipping all the tools needed to actually rebuild the distro ? |
With vanilla 7.0 the unpacking of this SRPM fails. Its one of about 6 I've found so far that dont work. Methinks QA should try a rpm -bp of all the packages on a release candidate before signing it off [root@terrorserver redhat]# rpm -bp --nodeps SPECS/rpmdb-redhat.spec.in Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.39554 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD + '[' -d '%{rpmdbtree}' ']' + echo 'This specfile needs access to %{rpmdbtree}/i386/Redhat/RPMS' This specfile needs access to %{rpmdbtree}/i386/Redhat/RPMS + exit 1 Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.39554 (%prep)
