[CentOS] rpmbuild: definition of the %prep script
Hi all, in which file is the %prep script defined? www.rpm.org says its a build-in script. Does that mean its defined in some binary? I wonder how %prep handles the setup of locale. TIA .Volker ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You're right.
Actually I'm trying to figure out where these lines originate from
Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.86989
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/user/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ LANG=C
+ export LANG
The setting of LANG messes up my build, which relies on Utf8.
see:
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros
# Bad hack to set $LANG to C during all RPM builds
%prep \
%%prep\
LANG=C\
export LANG\
unset DISPLAY\
%{nil}
