Spec Name or Url: http://rpm.greysector.net/extras/newsx.spec SRPM Name or Url: http://rpm.greysector.net/extras/newsx-1.6-1.src.rpm Description: Newsx is an NNTP client that will connect to a remote NNTP server and post outgoing news articles batched by the news system (e.g. INN), as well as fetch incoming articles.
God: + rpm for srpm worked fine. + Local build worked fine. Bad: - rpmlint binary rpm complaints: rpmlint newsx-1.6-1.i686.rpm E: newsx non-standard-dir-perm /var/spool/news/inhosts 0770 - Please use %{?dist} in Release tag. - Mock build failed. Unfortunately I have not the rights to sponsor you.
http://rpm.greysector.net/extras/newsx.spec http://rpm.greysector.net/extras/newsx-1.6-2.src.rpm Should be fixed now.
Build failed. checking history... ERROR: cannot determine hash mode of /var/lib/news/history Try running makehistory first. There's a good chance your Requires line is not needed. rpm can figure out from the BuildRequires that it needs inn.
Ping. Adding --without-history to %configure results in a build. What's this Provides: news-sucker line?
I can't reproduce that failure on FC5 box. I've dropped that Provides: line, but I think Requires: inn should be kept, because newsx doesn't depend on any inn libs directly. http://rpm.greysector.net/extras/newsx.spec http://rpm.greysector.net/extras/newsx-1.6-3.src.rpm
*ping*
Building with mock on both FC5 and FC6 I still get checking history... ERROR: cannot determine hash mode of /var/lib/news/history Try running makehistory first. Adding --without-history to configure does make it build.
Builds fine in both fc6 and fc5 mock here.
*ping*?
It builds fine in a mock here.
rpmlint of newsx: E: newsx non-standard-dir-perm /var/spool/news/inhosts 0770 + source matches upstream + proper use of macros + license (GPL) + good buildroot + %clean section + smp flags + all needed BuildRequires APPROVED
Darn, you *were* right after all, it failed on the builders just the way you described it. And yet 2 other people were unable to reproduce it... incredible. Anyway, I "fixed" the build just like you told me to, imported and built for devel. FC-5 branch requested. Thanks for the review!
You are welcome. Odd that you could not reproduce. I did mock build mine.
