Sorry if this is a FAQ... I didn't find the answer by googling yet, anyway. At my job (working on an embedded system), we are hosting the RPM directory (the whole tree that would normally be at /usr/src/rpm) in ClearCase. That way we get version control of SPEC files. But, for in-house maintained stuff (like say a collection of scripts that goes into an RPM), it's not convenient to have to make a tarball. I check in the tarball, but to see diffs from one version to the next, you'd have to check out both versions, untar them, and do a diff. Is there a way for a spec file to specify that the source comes from a directory instead? Then we could version-control each file that goes into the RPM rather than having to check in the whole tarball. For example I could just check in the BUILD directory (and all subdirectories and files) instead, and have rpmbuild skip the untarring step, assuming that the tar has already been extracted there. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
