The debug information should be automatically separated into a -debuginfo package near the end of the build, leaving you with stripped binaries. There are several causes of variations between the distribution builds and what you get from a local rpmbuild, but one of the main causes is that rpmbuild uses the tools and libraries that are installed on your system, while the distribution build is created using koji and mock in a "cleanroom" environment where only core build tools plus the BuildRequires specified in the .spec are present. This can make a difference if (for example) a configure script detects the presence of particular libraries on your system that aren't present in the mock cleanroom (chroot) environment. Note that you can build locally using mock, or you can submit a package to the Koji system for a remote build using your Fedora credentials (assuming you have a Fedora account, https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/). To set up to use Koji, install the "fedora-packager" package, then run "fedora-packager-setup" to set up your certificates; to submit a Koji scratch build, run this command: koji build dist-f14 --scratch nameOfTheSRPM This will submit the package to the remote primary arch koji builders. You can see summary results on your screen, or you can follow the full logs using the web interface (http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org). At the end of the build, you'll get full buildlogs plus the output RPMs. -Chris -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
