I do not consider someone calling me lazy a display of fact. I do consider it confrontational, and, at least in this case, unnecessarily so.
You may have differences on your system other than what Karanbir has. So even with two identical files, you may still have differences. Posting your version of the rpmmacros file won't help us find those. You comparing build logs will.
It might, but I have no particular desire, absent other compelling input, to wade through a 52817 line diff. If you do, my hat's off to you, or would be if I wore one.
Because scripted (rpmbuild and specfile) builds are reproduceable in similar manner, using diff will let you identify differences with line number tagging. Makes things simple.
I have used diff for years for this and other, far less complex issues, but I dare say even you would not prefer to plow (or wade) through a 52000+ line diff. Among other things, there are differences related to the build directory, my excluding xen and including jfs and xfs. Should the new kernel not function properly, I will be delighted (sort of) to go back and use the plain vanilla spec file and grep out the build dir differences. FWIW, diff was a great suggestion; my issue was with the context (see above). -- Mark Hull-Richter DATAllegro (www.datallegro.com) 85 Enterprise, Second Floor, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-680-3082 - Office 949-680-3001 - fax _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
