Brilliant!!!! It works with just one snag which is not related to the
answer so maybe this needs a new subject.
After downloading the tarball I attempt a build.
#rpmbuild -vv -tb demo.tar.gz
error: Name field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Version field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Release field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Summary field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Group field must be present in package: (main package)
error: License field must be present in package: (main package)
Huh?
So I inspect the tar, unpack it and repack it and it works.
I've got another query into the viewVC list asking if there is anyhting
funky there...
I see rpmbuild uses the OS tar so it's not different versions...
When rpmbuild attempt to read the demo.spec from the original tar ball, what
is it using to accomplish that?
