Trying to build an rpm for the numarray package

It looks like python distutils fails as there's a generated debuginfo
file. Distutils should be fixed to know about the intended number of rpms.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-2.3.3-6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download numarray tar.gz
2. Run python setup.py bdist_rpm
3.
    

Additional info:


I think it would be great if numarray was in Fedora!
Comment 1 Mihai Ibanescu 2004-05-20 17:46:27 EDT 
Have you reported this bug upstream? It is not a packaging bug, is it?
Comment 2 Jeremy Sanders 2004-05-21 04:39:58 EDT 
I thought it might have been because of the extra debuginfo files.
I'll report it upstream now if you think not.
Comment 3 Jeremy Sanders 2004-05-21 04:44:13 EDT 
Okay, I've found a python bug corresponding to this bug. There's a
patch to fix the problem, but the bug claims redhat/fedora developers
chose not to include the patch.

See
 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=957381&group_id=5470&atid=105470
Comment 4 Mihai Ibanescu 2004-05-24 10:02:18 EDT 
Ah, cool. Thanks, I'll include the bug in the next python build.
Comment 5 Mihai Ibanescu 2004-06-04 11:17:00 EDT 
The patch is horrible IMHO. distutils should be fixed to allow for
more than one rpm to be built out of one spec file, not worked around
the specific debuginfo problem.
Comment 6 David Nečas 2004-06-05 07:49:08 EDT 
I must confess I haven't studied the patch, however:

Distutils writes the spec file itself, writes it to build one binary
rpm, so it reasonably expects one binary rpm is created.  It is
redhat-rpm-config what does something unexpected.  If rpmbuild creates
some random extra rpms, how can distutils know what happened, what
they are good for and what to do with them?  And there is no generic
method of preventing that.  Special-casing for known extra rpms it
knows what to do with is not so bad idea then.
Comment 7 Mihai Ibanescu 2004-06-07 10:20:39 EDT 
You are right that distutils creates the spec file (although I wish it
offered a way to accept a custom spec file). But the -debuginfo thing
is totally driven by rpm macros. rpm macros are very powerful and very
confusing too.

Anyway, I have a patch that I will submit upstream that hopefully
addresses the big FIXME in distutils/command/bdist_rpm.py (and will
put it in rawhide for public consideration).
Comment 8 Mihai Ibanescu 2004-06-07 11:15:47 EDT 
Patched rpms are available at:

ftp://people.redhat.com/misa/python/

(until the rawhide build becomes available)

Please give them a try and let me know if they work for you.
Comment 9 David Nečas 2004-06-09 13:48:04 EDT 
They seem to fix it for me.
Comment 10 Mihai Ibanescu 2004-06-09 14:00:00 EDT 
Excellent. The patch was accepted upstream too.
Comment 11 Jeff MacDonald 2004-08-10 11:01:52 EDT 
does python-2.3.3-6 contain the patch? I went to the above url to
download the patched version, but it has been removed.
Comment 12 Mihai Ibanescu 2004-08-10 11:14:53 EDT 
Not sure, I would say use python 2.3.4 from rawhide or FC3 test 1.
