Bug 640005

This looks like bug #548099 came back.

If you want to use the same spec in Fedora and RHEL (which is something I understand completely) you could do something like:

%if %{?rhel}%{!?rhel:0} && %{?rhel}%{!?rhel:0} <= 5
ExclusiveArch: %{ix86} x86_64
%endif

Or (since it is not built on RHEL4 anyway):

%if %{?rhel}%{!?rhel:0} = 5

(In reply to comment #2)
> %if %{?rhel}%{!?rhel:0} = 5

%if %{?rhel}%{!?rhel:0} == 5

unfortunately currently can't build

jna-3.2.7-6.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/jna-3.2.7-6.el5

jna-3.2.7-6.el5 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 5 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
 If you want to test the update, you can install it with 
 su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update jna'.  You can provide feedback for this update here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/jna-3.2.7-6.el5

This does not solve the problem.

You need to do a new build on F12 that does NOT exclude ppc/ppc64. Using

%if 0%{?rhel} < 6
ExclusiveArch: %{ix86} x86_64
%endif

will NOT do the right thing - and it is the reason the current version is broken on Fedora 12. It will also not do the right thing for ppc/ppc64 builds as secondary arch for Fedora 13 and later.

%if 0%{?rhel} == 5
ExclusiveArch: %{ix86} x86_64
%endif

would work.

this never works:
%if 0%{?rhel} == 5
since on rhel-5 %rhel is not defined...

The %{rhel} macro IS correctly set up when you build packages in koji, so there is no problem using it in your spec files for EPEL.

See my dummy scratch build

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2521822

where the specfile says:

%if %{?rhel}%{!?rhel:0} == 5
echo "rhel is 5"
%endif

and the logs say "rhel is 5".


The problem with

%if 0%{?rhel} < 6

is not when you build for EPEL, the problem is that it is wrong when you build for Fedora. In a fedora build %{rhel} is undefined (as it should be in this case), so the expression above expands to

if 0 < 6

which is always true. So if you use this expression you will disable ppc/ppc64 for every build on any Fedora release. And this is the problem.

I really don't care exactly what conditionals you use in the specfile as long as the package is built for all architectures as it should. I.e. the restriction to ix86 + x86_64 should only be applied for RHEL 5 and not for Fedora.

ok but it's only defined in epel but not on normal rhel/centos release. now i try ot fix this problem, but unfortunately:
- jna buildrequires java
- java buildrequires netbeans-platform
- netbeans-platform buildrequires jna
so i can't build newer jna:-(

You need to file a rel-eng ticket requesting that the previous version of jna that had a ppc build (jna-3.2.4-3.fc12) should be tagged into the F12 buildroot as a buildroot override. Once this is accepted you should be able to build the new jna with this older jna version satisfying the needed dependency from netbeans-platform.

Should be buildable now...
