I've seeing now: [makerpm@localhost SPECS]$ rpmlint -i /home/makerpm/rpmbuild/SRPMS/rear-1.7.8-1.fc9.src.rpm rear.src: W: strange-permission rear.spec 0600 A file that you listed to include in your package has strange permissions. Usually, a file should have 0644 permissions. 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings. [makerpm@localhost SPECS]$ rpmlint -i /home/makerpm/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/rear-1.7.8-1.fc9.noarch.rpm rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/doc/rear-1.7.8/contrib ./usr/share/rear/contrib The relative symbolic link points nowhere. rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/rear/skel/default/bin/sh bash The relative symbolic link points nowhere. rear.noarch: W: hidden-file-or-dir /usr/share/rear/skel/default/.bash_history The file or directory is hidden. You should see if this is normal, and delete it from the package if not. rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/doc/rear-1.7.8/README ./usr/share/rear/README The relative symbolic link points nowhere. rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/doc/rear-1.7.8/CHANGES ./usr/share/rear/CHANGES The relative symbolic link points nowhere. rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/rear/skel/default/init bin/init The relative symbolic link points nowhere. rear.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/share/rear/skel/default/var/log/lastlog rear.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/share/rear/skel/default/var/lib/nfs/state rear.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/share/rear/skel/default/etc/mtab 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 3 errors, 6 warnings. [makerpm@localhost SPECS]$ rpmlint -i /home/makerpm/rpmbuild/SRPMS/rear-1.7. Error: no installed packages by name /home/makerpm/rpmbuild/SRPMS/rear-1.7. 0 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings. ==> Rear makes usage of relative symbolic links. Is there a way to suppress these warning? Or is it safe to ignore? ==> the zero-length file are necessary when we build a boot image. We can safely ignore these errors. Is there a way to tell in rear.spec file to say we can ignore "zero length" files? Would like to avoid submitting a new version which still produces errors during a rpmlint investigation. thanks, Gratien -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
