Hi,
i am trying to *add* another macrofile to the list of sourced
macrofiles. But i cannot find a way to do so. The --macros
option to rpmbuild and rpm say that this file list is used
instead of the original list. So i ask is there a simple
way to do this. The only solution i can think of is:
1. Parse the output of --showrc
2. Extract the macrofiles setting
3. Append my files to it
4. Pass this to rpm/rpmbuild via --macros
Is this really the way to go?
Actually what you need to do is generate a 2 line rcfile, and put
macrofiles within.
So the rcfile you want is
include: /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc
macrofiles: whatever you want here
and invoke as
rpmbuild --rcfile myrpmrc
Strange, i tried that with
rpm --macros=<my_file> --eval "%{_topdir}"
Which returned /usr/src/redhat, though _topdir is redefined in
<my_file>!?
When i use
rpm --rcfile=bla --eval "%{_topdir}"
and the rcfile contains macrofiles: <my_file>
the eval returns the correct _topdir.
You can try rpm-4.4.7-0.15 if you want
ftp://wraptastic.org/pub/rpm-devel
All of the above got repaired this weekend past, see <rpm-
devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
Be forewarned: Hardly anyone but me has tried using rpm-4.4.7.
The reason for all this is, that i do the builds in some
subdirectories of various repository branches (mercurial).
Depending on the branch, this is in mercurial just another
directory, some macro definitions have to be changed i.e.
_topdir etc. and some branches do even define their own
macros depending on the release branch (stable, devel ...).
The release branch is parsed from the repository/directory name.
With a wrapper script this is all good and fine. On the first
run the necessary macros are generated and stored in a repo_rpm_macros
file. Now i tried to rerun a build from the commandline
passing the generated macros file via --macros to rpmbuild,
but this, according to the docs, would not allow me to source all
the default macro files.
Any hints?
Good luck!
