Thanks, Jay!Mostly there. For some reason, the rpm file is outputting the files under /var/tmp, instead of on the system:rpm -ql perl-SVN-Notify /usr/share/doc/perl-SVN-Notify-2.66 /usr/share/doc/perl-SVN-Notify-2.66/Changes /usr/share/doc/perl-SVN-Notify-2.66/README /var/tmp/perl-SVN-Notify-2.66-8-root/usr/bin/svnnotify/var/tmp/perl-SVN-Notify-2.66-8-root/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/SVN/Notify.pm /var/tmp/perl-SVN-Notify-2.66-8-root/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/SVN/Notify/Alternative.pm... Did I miss a setting somewhere? -Jeff On CentOS 5 x86_64:yum -y install perl-RPM-Specfile perl-IO-Zlib rpm-build perl-rpm-build-perl perl-Module-Build perl-HTML-Parser wget 'http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/D/DW/DWHEELER/SVN-Notify-2.66.tar.gz'gunzip SVN-Notify-2.66.tar.gzcpanflute2 --name=SVN-Notify --version=2.66 SVN-Notify-2.66.tar --buildallrpm -Uvh perl-SVN-Notify-2.66-8.src.rpm
I don't think you missed anything, I think cpanflute2 got a bit confused with the makefile provided by SVN::Notify. That's basically why I mentioned tweaking the specfile, you never know just what's going to happen! It works out-of-the-box most of the time, but even when it doesn't it's a lot easier for me to tweak it than it is to start from scratch.
It appears that the makefile it attempted to install the files using the value of RPM's _tmppath macro, but it got doubled-up somehow. I got slightly different results from you as I have changed that macro to point to a slightly different location than the default.
The issue appears to be in line 30 of the generated specfile, which goes: make pure_install PERL_INSTALL_ROOT=$RPM_BUILD_ROOTI removed the PREL_INSTALL_ROOT=... portion of the line so that it just reads:
make pure_install and that seems to take care of the issue.You can fix this by installing the source RPM file (perl-SVN-Notify-2.66-8.src.rpm) and editing the specfile as noted above. Then just run:
rpmbuild -bb --target=noarch perl-SVN-Notify.specwhich should generate the installable RPM. It worked over here on my CentOS 5.1 i386 box, or at least the RPM contained the files in the right locations. Note that you will have to have an RPM build environment set up in your home directory to get this to work. There are some pointers to resources on this in the wiki at http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Rpm.
