Fixed upstream. rpmbuild no more complains if file listed as %ghost is not present in build root. The ghost files are required to be present at build-time for populating the file's metadata with some semi-sane values. If we want to permit really non-existent ghost files, the stat() info needs to be faked out to avoid completely bogus stuff like this (which is what you get now if a %ghost doesn't exist at build-time): [pmatilai@turre RPMS]$ rpm -qplv ghosttest-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm ?--------- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 /tmp/nofile This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping rpm 4.8.0-beta1 in rawhide permits creating %ghost's without actually requiring fake files in buildroot. |
