As I stated in a previous message, I have a problem doing rpmbuild -ts
with the tarball created for virt-manager. This problem predates the
gtk3.2 branch since it also occurs with RELEASE-0.9.4-1. I know what
the problem is but not why it is happening or how to (acceptably) fix it.
I have my own rpm build tree (like most folks do). However, I like my
source and spec files grouped and not in one big pile. Therefore, I have
an .rpmmacros file with the following specified:
# %_sourcedir is where the source code tarballs, patches, etc. will be
# placed after you do an "rpm -ivh somepackage.1.0-1.src.rpm"
%_sourcedir %{_topdir}/%{name}-%{version}
# %_specdir is where the specfile gets placed when installing a
src.rpm. I
# prefer the specfile to be in the same directory as the source
tarballs, etc.
%_specdir %{_sourcedir}
and the problem is that I specify %{_topdir}/%{name}-%{version} although
it could have also been
%{_topdir}/SOURCE/%{name}-%{version}
with the same results:
rpmbuild -ts virt-manager-0.9.4.tar.gz
error: Unable to open
/home/gc/devel/rpmbuild/SOURCE/virt-manager/virt-manager.spec: No such
file or directory
with %_sourcedir %{_topdir}/SOURCE/%{name}
or
rpmbuild -ts virt-manager-0.9.4.tar.gz
error: Unable to open
/home/gc/devel/rpmbuild/SOURCE/virt-manager-0.9.4/virt-manager.spec:
No such file or directory
with %_sourcedir %{_topdir}/%{name}-%{version}
I have run this way for years and have never had a problem with any
other package so I must conclude that it is something about the
virt-manager.spec file that is causing the problem. It may be a problem
with rpmbuild it it is only with the virt-manager.spec file.
Anybody have any ideas?
One solution that is not acceptable is to remove %{name}-%{version}
