Ooops, I tripped on a bugzilla bug. The resulting page showed me: The product name '' is invalid or does not exist. Please press Back and try again. and I didn't realize this was just the redirect from the submit result page. Sorry. Anyone for filing a bug against bugzilla??? I'm tired. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 197281 *** |
Description of problem: In the SPEC file, there are unescaped RPM macros, presumably "%version" and "%makeinstall". These are unfortunately expanded in the changelog (rpm -qp -- changelog $file.rpm), and are a bit annoying or misleading Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.1-9.FC5.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -qp --changelog xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9.FC5.4.i386.rpm Actual results: a) * Thu Dec 22 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris> 1.0.0-3 - Added "Provides: libxf86config-devel = 1.0.1-9.FC5.4" to sdk package. b) * Wed Aug 31 2005 Kristian Hogsberg <krh> 0.99.1-2.cvs20050830 - Go back to %spec -n, use new cvs snapshot that supports overriding moduledir during make install, use /usr/bin/make \ prefix=/var/tmp/xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-9.FC5.4-root-brewbuilder/usr \ exec_prefix=/var/tmp/xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-9.FC5.4-root-brewbuilder/usr \ bindir=/var/tmp/xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-9.FC5.4-root-brewbuilder/usr/bin \ sbindir=/var/tmp/xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-9.FC5.4-root-brewbuilder/usr/ sbin \ sysconfdir=/var/tmp/xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-9.FC5.4-root-brewbuilder/etc \ datadir=/var/tmp/xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-9.FC5.4-root-brewbuilder/usr/ share \ includedir=/var/tmp/xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-9.FC5.4-root-brewbuilder/usr/ include \ libdir=/var/tmp/xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-9.FC5.4-root-brewbuilder/usr/lib \ libexecdir=/var/tmp/xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-9.FC5.4-root-brewbuilder/usr/ libexec \ localstatedir=/var/tmp/xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-9.FC5.4-root-brewbuilder/ var \ sharedstatedir=/var/tmp/xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-9.FC5.4-root-brewbuilder/ usr/com \ mandir=/var/tmp/xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-9.FC5.4-root-brewbuilder/usr/ share/man \ infodir=/var/tmp/xorg-x11-server-1.0.1-9.FC5.4-root-brewbuilder/usr/ share/info \ install. Expected results: a) * Thu Dec 22 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris> 1.0.0-3 - Added "Provides: libxf86config-devel = %version" to sdk package. b) * Wed Aug 31 2005 Kristian Hogsberg <krh> 0.99.1-2.cvs20050830 - Go back to %spec -n, use new cvs snapshot that supports overriding moduledir during make install, use %makeinstall. Additional info: These changelog entries change with every new build of the package. That's basically wrong in case a). Case b) is just ... amusing? Annoying? Long? Please always do % -> %% in the changelog section. ***** BTW: Preparing packages for installation... package xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9.fc5.1.1 (which is newer than xorg- x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9.FC5.4) is already installed Darn! You capitalized a relevant letter in the %{version} without bumping the epoch! ;-) Shall I file this against the component "rpm"? (Does it have any side effects on yum? I coincidentally selected to download the Update RPMs this time, and didn't use yum.)
