All the patch does is reorder so that directory creation happens after spec file evaluation. As discussed on rpm-maint some time ago, the little "all it does" actually breaks other use-cases, including two tests in the rpm test-suite -> NAK. rpm-maint list is a better place for upstream patch submissions + discussions than Fedora bugzilla anyway. |
Created attachment 436681 [details] rpm-4.7.2-reorder-spec-eval.patch Description of problem: I use macros that are defined in the spec file for rpm directory location, for example: %_rpmtopdir %{_topdir}/%{name}/%{version}-%{release} This is fine for rpm -i, but rpmbuild builds the directories before evaluating the spec file, so ~/rpmbuild directory has this: [james@xavier rpmbuild]$ ls %\{name\}/ %{version}-%{release} And, when building an rpm I get this: $ rpmbuild -bp rpm.spec Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.SHLyud + umask 022 + cd /home/james/rpmbuild/rpm/4.7.2-3.spec_first.fc12/work /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.SHLyud: line 23: cd: /home/james/rpmbuild/rpm/4.7.2-3.spec_first.fc12/work: No such file or directory error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.SHLyud (%prep) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.SHLyud (%prep) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.7.2-2.fc12.x86_64 I know I filed in 13, but the bug is present there as well How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -i *.src.rpm 2. rpmbuild -bp *.spec 3. errors Actual results: $ rpmbuild -bp rpm.spec Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.SHLyud + umask 022 + cd /home/james/rpmbuild/rpm/4.7.2-3.spec_first.fc12/work /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.SHLyud: line 23: cd: /home/james/rpmbuild/rpm/4.7.2-3.spec_first.fc12/work: No such file or directory error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.SHLyud (%prep) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.SHLyud (%prep) Expected results: rpmbuild unpacks rpm Additional info: Patch attached
