CentOS - Mar 2015 - SquidAnalyzer: minor trouble building RPM

Hi,

I'm using the SquidAnalyzer network analysis tool in combination with 
Squid. Up until now, I've been running Slackware Linux on my servers. I 
built a custom package that installs SquidAnalyzer to 
/var/www/vhosts/squidreport/html. Then I setup an Apache virtual host 
for SquidAnalyzer's pages.

Since I'm migrating my servers from Slackware to CentOS, I'd like to 
build a corresponding RPM package for SquidAnalyzer. I downloaded the 
sources here:

http://squidanalyzer.darold.net/download.html

Then I set up a local build environment as described in the CentOS wiki.

The source tarball already contains a squidanalyzer.spec file in the 
packaging/RPM subdirectory. So I copied that spec file over to 
~/rpmbuild/SPECS and the source tarball to ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES. The 
version information in the spec file is wrong, it indicates 6.2, but the 
version of SquidAnalyzer is 6.2-1.

Unfortunately when I insert the correct version in the spec file, I get 
this:

$ rpmbuild -ba --clean squidanalyzer.spec
error: line 5: Illegal char '-' in: Version:	6.2-1

What can I do now?

Niki

I'll answer that myself, since I just found the culprit. There's a 
version mismatch between the tarball and the extracted source directory. 
Simply renaming the tarball to version 6.2 fixed it.

Cheers,

Niki

Thanks for the info.

Any reason you're leaving slackware now?

Also, you can't use a - in the Version tag in the rpm spec file.  A
mismatch between the tarball name and the extracted source directory
would be a different error.
