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

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:

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

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

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

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

Hi, For software development, projects are built through makefile. After building, I can run binary program. rpm is more convenient. Is there some tool that can build rpm? Thanks! Regards Andrew

Hello, I've got rpmforge and epel on centos 5.3. I'm trying to do an install of perl-Image-Info for spamassassin image scanning. The package was picked up in rpmforge since first, but it is failing to install because a dependency is missing. I added perl-Image-Info to rpmforge's excludepkgs line and tried to install the package again this time thinking it would pull from epel. This

Hi, I have upgraded my Dell C151 to the latest 5.6. I have always used ntp to sync this machine and then the rest of the machines in the network would sync from it. Since the update I cannot keep the right time on the machine. This is with / without ntp. I have attempted various scenario's with no luck. I am now trying the old kernel now as I type this out. If anyone else has any

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.

Im trying to learn how to create RPMs but am a little confused by the spec file. Im trying to package up some Python scripts, rather than binary files, and I want them to be installed in a subdirectory under /usr/local which I shall refer to as /usr/local/X Ive put the scripts in a tarball under /home/me/X/RPM/SOURCES but Im getting terribly confused over what to put in the? %build %install

For whatever reason, the RPMForge package ruby-rrdtool doesn''t play nice on my CentOS 5.1 box with puppetmaster. It installs site_ruby/1.8/i386-linux/RRD.so, which puppetmaster is unable to find (and the suggested test of ruby -rRRDtool -e ''puts :yep'' fails). Using ln to link RRD.so to RRDtool.so works for the command line test, but still fails for puppetmaster. This

Hello, I've got a new centos 6 system it's i386 and I'm wanting to update it's lamp stack, specifically httpd, php, and mysql. Also, if postfix as an MTA would be available that's a plus. I've checked out the centos wiki and it looks like I have two choices for third party repos for this task. I have enabled rpmforge as of now. The two repos I'm seeing are Les RPM de
