Ah, in the spec file, the following cases are distinguished:
%if "%{fedora}" >= "5"
BuildRequires: libXpm-devel
%else
BuildRequires: 11-devel
%endif
Seems that %{fedora} is not defined (correctly) for a current
rawhide system. This probably means that some other build
requirement is missing which makes sure that this variable is
set.

You need to define it, in the standard build system the fedora macro is defined to be the version of the release. I agree that i would be nice to have this defined for development tools. I close this as not a bug since the spec file is correct and it works in the building system. It follows established and documented procedures, so there is nothing wrong with the spec file. I do not get your point. RPM packages have to build cleanly on a Fedora Core system. This is the case for the "core" packages unless some "BuildReq" is missing. Why would "extra" packages not be expected to rebuild correctly? If additional components are required to rebuild the packages, they should be added as build requirements in the spec file. The guidelines that I refer are here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DistTag Search there for conditionals. If you disagree I suggest you to bring this issue to fedora-extras-list for discussion. I am saying this in all fairness :-) I don't think this is the right place to discuss this. If I remember correctly there were some previous threads about this subject but I do not remember the outcome. :-) |
Description of problem: A rebuild of the "grace" package fails for the current development tree because among the build requirements appears "xorg-x11-devel" which was correct for FC4 but neither for FC5 not the current "rawhide" tree. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grace-5.1.19-5.fc6 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Execute "rpmbuild --rebuild grace-5.1.19-5.fc6.src.rpm" Actual results: Build aborts wit hthe message: "error: Failed build dependencies: xorg-x11-devel is needed by grace-5.1.19-5.i386" Expected results: Package should compile cleanly. Additional info: None.
