Description of problem: The %pycached macro doesn't work correctly on el7 because it is using {} expansion in %files. That is a feature that was added in rpm 4.13.0 [0], but el7 is still using rpm 4.11.3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): epel-rpm-macros-7-29 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. %pycached %{python3_sitelib}/%{srcname}.py Actual results: File not found by glob: /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/python-appdirs-1.4.4-1.el7.x86_64/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/__pycache__/appdirs.cpython-36{,.opt-?}.pyc Expected results: working spec file Additional info: [0] https://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.13.0
Oh my. I was under the impression that this is a shell glob, not a thing RPM needs to support.
%pycached %{python3_sitelib}/%{srcname}.py Now evals to: /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/%{srcname}.py /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/__pycache__/%{srcname}.cpython-36{,.opt-?}.pyc Needs to eval to: /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/%{srcname}.py /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/__pycache__/%{srcname}.cpython-36.pyc /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/__pycache__/%{srcname}.cpython-36.opt-?.pyc Correct? Note to self: EL 8 has RPM 4.14.3.
Please confirm the fix, it is prepared in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-rpm-macros/pull-request/29
Thanks for the quick response, that PR looks great to me. Once it's merged and in testing I'll be happy to confirm one last time and give karma.
