The fedora build system doesn't use prebuilt srpms; instead it builds the srpm from the spec file and the sources at the start of the build process. I cloned libbsd and tried a scratch build with the dist-5E-epel target and everything seems OK except for some issues with arch ppc: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5492259 I don't think #490613 is at issue, since we're not trying to install a Fedora SRPM as part of the process. It appears that your scratch build failed on PPC and killed the i386 and x86_64 builds before they got to the point of trying to decompress the .tar.xz in the setup macro. Presumably this would happen if the PPC builder was less busy than the i386 and x86_64 builders. However, the PPC builder decompressed the .tar.xz just fine, and there's no obvious reason why that should succeed when i386 and x86_64 fail. I'll try the workaround given in bug 620674, explicitly piping xzcat into tar. If that solves it, I'll file a bug against rpm in EL5, though I doubt that the powers that be will decide to fix it. The PPC build problem is in the install section, failing to do a variable substitution of %{buildroot}. Since the i386 and x86_64 builds didn't even get that far, it's possible that this is due to an EL5 difference rather than being anything specific to PPC.

Sounds like you are missing the BuildRoot field from the spec file. Be sure to put in all of the other necessary stuff as well, i.e. * rm -rf %{buildroot} in %clean and at the start %install * %defattr(-,root,root) in all %files sections and so on. Remember to check the result RPM with rpmlint. You're right! I'd forgotten about all the otherwise obsolete stuff that has to be done for EL5, since I hadn't thought that I'd be maintaining any EL5 packages. Thanks! I'll put that stuff in and try again. libbsd-0.5.2-2.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libbsd-0.5.2-2.el5 libbsd-0.5.2-2.el5 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 5 testing repository. Excellent! I'll test it out. libbsd-0.5.2-2.el5 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 5 stable repository. |
