Description jafo-redhat 2002-10-07 04:34:20 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809

Description of problem:
The RH8.0 release, the "-ba" and similar build options have been
moved out of the "rpm" command into the "rpmbuild" command only.
The distutils code for the "bdist_rpm" sub-command fails because
of this.

I have put up patch #619493 at sourceforge.net which fixes this
issue.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download and unpack a Distutils-packaged Python module (for
   example:
ftp://ftp.tummy.com/pub/tummy/Python/python-chap/python-chap-1.13.tar.gz)
2. Run "python setup.py bdist_rpm"

Actual Results:  Fails to produce binary/source RPMs with the results:

[...]
building RPMs
rpm -ba --define _topdir /tmp/python-chap-1.13/build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm
--clean build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/SPECS/python-chap.spec
-ba: unknown option
error: command 'rpm' failed with exit status 1


Expected Results:  Should produce binary and/or source RPMs

Red Hat Linux and Red Hat Powertools are currently no longer supported by Red
Hat, Inc. In an effort to clean up bugzilla, we are closing all bugs in MODIFIED
state for these products.

However, we do want to make sure that nothing important slips through the
cracks. If, in fact, these issues are not resolved in a current Fedora Core
Release (such as Fedora Core 5), please open a new issues stating so. Thanks.
