I understand. Then let's approach this another way. Here's the patch we
made in createrepo/dumpMetadata.py:
def arch(self):
if self.tagByName('sourcepackage') == 1 or (
not self.options['relaxed-sourcerpm-check'] and not
self.tagByName('sourcerpm') ):
return 'src'
else:
return self.tagByName('arch')
Here's the original "if" expression:
if self.tagByName('sourcepackage') == 1 or not
self.tagByName('sourcerpm'):
What risks are we taking by allowing binary RPMs to omit a sourcerpm
tag? Can we assume that, for workaround purposes, the sourcepackage tag
was not adequate for detecting source RPMs and, hence, the additional
test for a missing sourcerpm tag was required? I lack your broad
exposure to RPMs, so I don't know how commonly this condition occurs.
Then please tell me how this rpm was created. Was it made using rpmbuild?
