%debug_package %{nil}And who ordered that? Well thats quite a long story but the basic rundown is that in order to debug a bug in the distribution ppl need to use the same binary package as the one that causes the bugs (so can't make a seperate 'debuggable package'). Also including the debug info in the main package is a no-no since then everyone would be burdoned by the extra filesize etc.. So they did a really smart thing, and extracted the 'debug info' from the files, and put this in a seperate, installable package... Everyone happy, all problems solved

I've been fooling around a bit since my original message. I got it to produce source and binary RPMs by adding this to the .spec: %define __check_files %{nil}
I did that because the thing that was failing was called check_files. What have I done? What's going on?
By the way, it now produces a huge debuginfo RPM file too. Who ordered that?
