Description Giuseppe Ragusa 2002-05-22 01:12:24 UTC 
Description of Problem:



Starting from rpm-build 4.0.4-7x update for RH 7.2 and verified on default RH 7.3 package too, the rpm-build process doesn't strip binaries when recompiling src.rpm packages with --rebuild nor with -ba (verified running as user only, with proper topdir etc. working)




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






4.0.4-7x




How Reproducible:






Every time.




Steps to Reproduce:



1. Pick any src.rpm package    
2. Issue a simple rpm --rebuild    
3. Try to run rpmlint (or check binaries with file command after installing)

Actual Results:






unstripped-binary-or-object




Expected Results:






binaries stripped by default




Additional Information:




rpm-build from 4.0.3 (as standard on unpatched RH 7.2) works fine
Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2002-05-31 13:56:57 UTC 
This is a change between Red Hat 7.3 and Red Hat 7.3.
Symbols are no longer stripped by rpm as shipped by Red Hat.
Comment 2 Need Real Name 2002-10-01 13:32:55 UTC 
To fix this situation go and change file /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip.
In the line "strip -g $f || :" cut option "-g".
