Description luigi votta 2010-12-15 17:02:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
When creating a source desktop package, Package Manager refuses to install, claiming with a "Cannot add package Documentation-*-en-US-0-0.fc14.src.rpm to transaction. Not a compatible architecture: src".  

However manual build from the created spec file, builds creating a binary installable package. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.5

Steps to Reproduce:
0. in publican.cfg, set os_ver: .fc14 
1. create a source desktop package (publican package --desktop --lang en-US)
2. sudo yum localinstall Documentation-*-en-US-0-0.fc14.src.rpm 
  
Actual results:
Cannot add package Documentation-*-en-US-0-0.fc14.src.rpm to transaction. Not a compatible architecture: src

Expected results:
Build and install documentation.

Additional info:
Tested spec with rpmlint, and rpmbuild: NO problems.
Comment 1 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2010-12-15 21:35:37 UTC 
Hi Luigi, this behaviour is correct, you cannot install source RPMs with Package Manager. Publican will create binary RPMs if you add --binary to the command line.

e.g.

$ publican package --desktop --lang en-US --binary

The binary package name will match: Documentation-*-en-US-0-0.fc14.noarch.rpm

Section 3.7.1.1. Source RPM packages and binary RPM packages needs to be reviewed.

Hi Jeff, thank you for the answer. 

Hi Rüdiger, I've a new patch for PUG. I've inserted some examples about toc_section_depth, generate_section_toc_level and chunk_section_depth.

Greetings
Luigi
Comment 5 Ruediger Landmann 2011-07-14 05:15:18 UTC 
Thanks once again for the detailed feedback and suggestions Luigi; I've incorporated the vast majority of them into the Guide for 2.6.

OS: Fedora 16

Publican Version: publican-3.0-0.fc16.t168.src.rpm

Remarks:

Doc used to verify is http://jfearn.fedorapeople.org/en-US/Publican/2.7/html-single/Users_Guide/index.html

This section is now 3.8.1.1. Source RPM packages and binary RPM packages

Information about the differences between source and binary RPMs now clearer, with explanatory sub-section 3.8.1.2. Desktop packages and web packages explaining the differences in more detail.
