Hello,
I couldn't find anything helpful in the archive, so this is my question:
How can I include filenames with blanks into an RPM package?
I'm using
%files -f filelist
to tell rpmbuild which files to include. This filelist is created by:
find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -type f -print | \
sed "s@^$RPM_BUILD_ROOT@@g" > filelist
Results look like this:
/var/tmp/mypackage/one two.gif
But I got an error:
Processing files: mypackage-3.4.9-1
error: Two files on one line: /var/tmp/mypackage/one
error: File must begin with "/": two.gif
So I tried to escape each blank:
find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -type f -print | \
sed "s@^$RPM_BUILD_ROOT@@g" | \
sed 's@ @\\ @g' > filelist
Results look like this:
/var/tmp/mypackage/one\ two.gif
Again, it didn't work out:
Processing files: mypackage-3.4.9-1
error: Two files on one line: /var/tmp/mypackage/one\
error: File must begin with "/": two.gif
Then I tried to put the whole line into quotation marks:
find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -type f -print | \
sed "s@^$RPM_BUILD_ROOT@@g" | \
sed 's@^.* .*$@"&"@g' > filelist
Results look like this:
"/var/tmp/mypackage/one two.gif"
But for the third time I received an error:
Processing files: mypackage-3.4.9-1
error: File not found: /var/tmp/mypackage/one
Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /var/tmp/mypackage
I have no clue what I could change? Any other escaping techniques? As
this is no software developed by us that I'm trying to package, I cannot
change filenames.
I'm using rpm-build-4.4.2.3-20.el5_5.1 on CentOS release 5.5.
Kind regards
Marten
