We have received a perl program that makes use of "Net::Interface" module which I am trying to run on CentOS 8. However, running into issues as this module is not found. use Net::Interface; I could use cpan to install the same, but currently using the rpm packages for all the needs. Any idea which rpm package provides this perl module? Thanks.

On CentOS5 I was used to create a simple spec file where at the end I'll declare files and directories I wan't to package: --< Snip >-- %files %dir /opt/myapp %dir /opt/myapp/bin %dir /opt/myapp/etc /opt/myapp/bin/exec01 /opt/myapp/etc/myapp.conf ---- I'll copy the file in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and run "rpmbuild -bb myapp.spec". On CentOS6 rpm-build package no longer

hello, I'm going to try this question again. The first time I botched it and the answers I got were useless. I want to use rpmdevtools to help with some packaging chores. There is no C5 version that I can find. I've located an SRC RPM in a location that is known to be C5 compatible. There are 2 versions of rpmdevtools:

Frank please could you explain how to create rpms for el7 from fedora src.rpms?

You're missing the spec file header that includes lots of meta information. The dash is to separate the version from the package release string. You should have a Release: header to fill that in. > install -m 744 -d

Hi, Are there tutorials available in official CentOS documentation for writing RPM Spec file Regards Kaushal

Hello, I'd like to get in to rpm building and am looking for a CentOS specific document if any to get me going? I want to repackage an existing rpm and give it different runtime options so it'll work on a server, and make an rpm at least one probably more, and then submit them to the rpmforge repo. Googling showed me some old Suse docs on this subject. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

CentOS-5.7 rpmdevtools-6.8-1 Following installation of rpmdevtools when I run rpmdev-setuptree as root, then root has a directory rpmbuild created in its home directory. If I do this as a non-privileged user instead then nothing happens. What am I missing? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B. Byrne mailto:ByrneJB at Harte-Lyne.ca Harte & Lyne

This question may not belong in the Centos.org list, but I do want to compile against this distro. Please advise. The question: Can I be pointed at methods to learn to compile source against a distro. I have software development background (but too long ago to be specifically useful; however I have the concepts). Typically I can find some fairly decent step-by-steps for some apps, but it

i'm a newbie at building rpms. I made a few rpms years ago, but can't now make one on Centos 5. In /usr/local/rpmbuild, there are 5 subdirs: BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS tmp When I type: rpmbuild -ba /usr/local/rpmbuild/SPECS/centos-release-cr-ihc.spec I get 'file not found' errors, for paths in /usr/local/rpmbuild/tmp: error: File not found:

Hi, folks, Trying to build a package from a gzipped tarball of a python package. I'm trying to build it in /root/rpmbuild. Python has a way to build it, but it creates its own tree, with a clone of the rpmbuild tree under *that*. So, from the specfile, I'm trying to understand, after much googling, what I need to change the Source and BuildRoot to. My latest try for the latter is

The complexity of doing this will vary a lot with what you're trying to compile, but for userland programs like email clients, text editors, games and the like it can be very easy to do in a lot of cases. As Johnny says, you don't really want

I thought I had all the tools I needed for this, but it seems something is missing. When I build the 2.6.18-8.1.3 kernel from source, I get this error: extracting debug info from /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.trace-root/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.el5.trace-x86_64/scripts/conmakehash extracting debug info from

I?m trying to build a 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 kernel without kabichk. I have downloaded the sources, installed the compiler, etc and ran the following command rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` --without kabichk --with baseonly --without debug \ --without debuginfo kernel-2.6.spec. I had modified the .SPEC file according to the WIKI page http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel I have NOT

Is there somewhere a succinct guide to just how much extra crud we need to install on RHEL to make use of EPEL packages?

Hello Clair vulnerability scanner considers the latest version of CentOS mariadb vulnerable, because of RHSA-2019:3708 It states, that mariadb must be updated at least to the version "10.3.17-1.module+el8.1.0+3974+90eded84". CentOS' last version is "10.3.17-1.module_el8.1.0+257+48736ea6". Rpm/yum considers CentOS' version older, than RHEL's. % rpmdev-vercmp

hello, I'm suprised that an SRC.RPM from the rhel5 repo needs a file from FC7. I grabbed rpmdevtools from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/ it rebuilds fine as EL5, but when I go to install it, it requires a version of rpm-build higher than the C5 base version (4.4.2-37) --------------------- grab dependencies ------------- $ rpm -qpR rpmdevtools-6.1-0.1.noarch.rpm ...
