Hi,
steps i followed,
1. rpm -ivh anaconda.src.rpm
2. tar xfj anaconda.tar.bz2 in the /SOURCES directory
3. cp -R anaconda-7.3 anaconda-7.3-unilogin (created one directory ... )
4. replaced "Red Hat" with "my text" inside "anaconda-7.3-unilogin"
directory
5. diff -urN anaconda-7.3 anaconda-7.3-unilogin > anaconda-unilogin.patch
6. In SPECS dir , cp anaconda.spec anaconda-unilogin.spec
7. replace "redhat" with "My text" inside anaconda-unilogin.spec (In
order to run step 10)
8. Added Patch:anaconda-unilogin.patch. & %patch -p1 lines in
anaconda-unilogin.spec
9. rpmbuild -ba anaconda-unilogin.spec
10. rpm -qip /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/anaconda-7.3.rpm --- > Result :
Still no replacement made in the summary?
those steps look right to me.
What you can verify is if, during step 9, you see it actually executing
the patch command. If it's not, then you're somehow building from an old
No. I am building the new spec only. After spending a day,
finally i did the following steps:
1.uninstalled anaconda from my system.
2. Deleted all files from usr/src/redhat/Source. & /Build & /SRPMS &
RPMS/i386 & SPECS
3. rpm -ivh anaconda.src.rpm (created a bz2 file in /SOURCE dir. & spec
file in SPECS dir.
4. tar xjf bz2 which created anaconda-7.3 under /SOURCE dir.
5. Replaced all (remember ALL! ) occurrences of Red hat with "My text".
6. Deleted tar.bz2 file
7. tar cjfv anaconda-7.3.tar.bz2 anaconda-7.3 (Nothing but creating bz2
file from the replaced dir.)
8. Replaced all occurences of Redhat with "my text" in specfication file
under /SPEC dir.
(Even i tried putting some junk characters in the summary &
description like ,
*%description runtime*
*The anacondsdfasda-sdfrunsdftime psdfasdfackage csdfontains parts of
the uLisdfn

)
9. finally, rpmbuild -ba anaconda.spec (which i modified in step 8)
10. It created 2 rpms under /RPMS/i386 dir.
11. rpm -qip anaconda-7.3-runtime-i386.rpm gives

The anaconda-runtime package contains parts of the Red Hat Linux

used to build Red Hat Linux media sets, but are not meant for use on
systems that have already been installed with Red Hat Linux.
===============================================
The output shows that the description and summary was replaced with my
junk (!) description given in the spec
file.
I have searched my whole file system for the spec file , but i could not
find.
Where from the summary and Description is coming ??????
Is it an Anaconda magic ??????
spec. If it is, then I see no reason why your changes to the summary
wouldn't be taken into account.
Also check that the built rpm really is the one that you just built (check
the date on it when you built it).
The date&time is correct.
Don't build as root either, but that's an aside.
I logged in as normal user, but could not created directories in some
locations. Only root can do
rpmbuild.
And, finally, try installing it then querying it.
Not working.... Either
But generally, if these are the exact steps you did, then it should work.
It IS however easy to miss one or make a mistake in them, as I have done
in the past before ;)
