Hi,
For one of our clients, I am currently trying to find a way to generate
under AIX 5.2 some noarch rpm that will get installed on Linux.
The problem I face is I can't find a way to change the OS of the
generated rpm package.
I tryied both rpm 3.0.5 from IBM and rpm 4.0.0 from Bull
--target is well read but does not work : I see the messages "Building
target platforms: noarch-foo-linux" and "Building for target
noarch-foo-linux" but rpm -q --qf %{OS} tells aix5.2 and I need
--ignoreos to install it under Linux.
When I use the same thing with 3.0.3 ou 4.4.1 under Linux, I can specify
the OS I want and rpm -q --qf %{OS} is OK...
Defining _target_os and other ones does not work, but anyway this does
not work on 3.0.3/Linux so I think this did not work on old versions and
I should drop this option.
Does anyone have any clue on how to have --target working fine under
AIX, or maybe some newer rpm for AIX which would work better on this
point ?
Best Regards,
