| mike 20:26 Jan 17, 2010 | Andre Truter reports problems with the latest RPM: It seems that the problem is that in rpm 4.6.0, the BuildRoot directive in the spec file was dropped. http://www.rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.6.0 --<snip>-- Rpm now enforces using a build root for all packages. The exact location and naming of package buildroots is an internal implementation detail that should have never been exposed to spec files, but to permit sharing of spec files with older versions of rpm, BuildRoot in spec files is silently ignored. By default rpmbuild now places the buildroot inside %{_topdir} but this can be changed through macro configuration. --<snip>-- I can build packages by issueing the rpmbuild command manually after epm ran and adding the --buildroot option to the rpmbuild command that epm use. |
