search for: rpmdevtool

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: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/SRPMS/rpmdevtools-6.1-0.1.fc6.src.rpm http://do...

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 ... config(rpmdevt...

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

If you have set up an RPM build server then you should have installed the rpmbuild and rpmdevtools packages. If you have installed the latter then you can use vi (vim/gvim) to automatically create an empty spec template file simply by opening any new file name ending in '.spec'. It will look like this: Name: Version: Release: 1%{?dist} Summary: Group: License: URL: Source0: BuildRoo...

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

...M first, there's this line: yum --disable "*" --enable "rpmforge" list available i'm guessing that should be: yum --disablerepo "*" --enablerepo "rpmforge" list available also, near the bottom (Method B): "For CentOS-5 - A package for rpmdevtools does not seem to be available." actually, there's one in EPEL for 5.5, but i don't know if you're counting packages that come from EPEL. in any event, there's certainly an rpmdevtools package that's installable on 5.5. rday -- ======================================...

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

...don't really want to do this with core operating system functions since you can end up with a Frankenstein system that might not work properly any more. In many cases (more than a few but by no means all) you can compile a Fedora rpm for Centos using the following procedure. You need to have rpmdevtools installed: yum install rpmdevtools Now set up the build directory structure in your home directory: rpmdev-setuptree After that, download the Fedora srpm, then run a rpmbuild command against the rpm you downloaded: rpmbuild -ba nameofsourcerpm.src.rpm Now you see what happens. Sometimes the...

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
