I noticed this wierdness with rpm-4.6 (f10) and rpm-4.7 (f11)... When I build packages including Python scripts, sometimes the .pyc and .pyo files are included in the package manifest, and sometimes, they are not. The script that does the .pyc and .pyo generation is 'brp-python- bytecompile', part of the '%__os_install_post' macro. Here are the various (inconsistent) results I get on different systems: F9: $ rpm --eval '%__os_install_post' /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-compress /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip /usr/bin/strip /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive /usr/bin/strip /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-comment-note /usr/bin/strip /usr/bin/ objdump /usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-bytecompile /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-python-hardlink /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-java-repack-jars F10 (x86_64): $ rpm --eval '%__os_install_post' /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-compress /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip /usr/bin/strip /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive /usr/bin/strip /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-comment-note /usr/bin/strip /usr/bin/ objdump /usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-bytecompile /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-python-hardlink /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-java-repack-jars F10 (i386): /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip-static-archive /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip-comment-note F10 (i386) -- in an i386 mock chroot: /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-compress /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip /usr/bin/strip /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive /usr/bin/strip /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-comment-note /usr/bin/strip /usr/bin/ objdump /usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-bytecompile /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-python-hardlink /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-java-repack-jars F11 (i386): /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip-static-archive /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip-comment-note F11 (i386) -- in an i386 mock chroot /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-compress /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip /usr/bin/strip /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive /usr/bin/strip /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-comment-note /usr/bin/strip /usr/bin/ objdump /usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-bytecompile /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-python-hardlink /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-java-repack-jars Why does the %__os_install_post macro vary in these examples? It's a little frustrating, since a spec file that works outside of a mock chroot may not work inside, and vice-versa.
