Due to operator error, I managed to create an empty jar file (containing only META-INF/MANIFEST.MF). Then aot-compile-rpm crashed: + /usr/bin/aot-compile-rpm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/aot-compile-rpm", line 66, in <module> compiler.compile() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/aotcompile.py", line 98, in compile self.writeMakefile(MAKEFILE, jobs) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/aotcompile.py", line 124, in writeMakefile (job.dsoName(), job.dbName()) for job in jobs]))} TypeError: reduce() of empty sequence with no initial value error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.78936 (%install) It took me a little digging through the code to figure out what that crash meant. In case others manage to trigger the same situation, it would be good to catch this exception and issue a "You dummy, there's nothing in your JAR file!" message instead. -- Jerry James http://loganjerry.googlepages.com/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
