Actually, it turns out that the chmod is still needed. Fixed with the following specfile: %define ver 0.2.8 %define rel 1%{?dist} Summary: multiple mailbox buffy for GTK+ Name: gbuffy Version: %ver Release: %rel License: GPL Group: Applications/Communications Source0: ~/C.libs/linux/%{name}-%{version}.tar.bz2 Source1: http://www.fiction.net/blong/programs/gbuffy/gbuffy-%{ver}.tar.gz BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-%(%{__id_u} -n) URL: http://www.fiction.net/blong/programs/gbuffy BuildRequires: libPropList %description GBuffy is a GTK+ multiple mailbox "biff" program. It is conceptually based on XBuffy by Bill Pemberton, but is a complete rewrite from scratch. GBuffy will poll multiple mailboxes for new mail. It will list the number of new messages in each mailbox you configure. It will also highlight the mailboxes which have new mail. GBuffy is currently capable of watching MBOX, MMDF, Maildir and MH Folders. This version also supports IMAP4rev1 and NNTP with XOVER mailboxes. %prep %setup -q %configure %make_build %install chmod +x mkinstalldirs %make_install %files %defattr(-,root,root,-) %doc CHANGES README %license LICENSE %{_bindir}/%{name} %clean Thanks to everyone for all your help. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
