Description Alan Brady 2001-08-08 06:54:11 UTC 
Description of Problem:

The tags for rebuilding SRPMS don't always work. Specifically
--target=<target> fails.

How Reproducible:

Can reproduce 100% of the time.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. rpm --rebuild <srpms> --target=<target> 
2. rpm -ta <.gz or .bz2 file> --target=<target>
3. rpm -tb <.gz or .bz2 file> --target=<target>

Actual Results:

--target=<target>: unknown option
ex. --target=i686: unknown option

Expected Results:

Build of binary and possibly srpms with the binary in the proper
architecture and optimization.

Additional Information:

This seems to be a bug with rpm-4.0.3 since I had the same problem
previously when using the same version out of Rawhide. I can go back to the
version with 7.1 and everything works normally.
Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2001-08-08 12:17:01 UTC 
Either type
	rpmbuild ... --target=<target>
or
	rpm -ba ... --target <target>

The 1st command is what will persist in the future.
