Two issues prevent an rpm package to be built with a ''python setup.py
bdist_rpm'' command. At least this applies to CentOS 5.4, but I don't
think it is distro-dependent.
The first one is version number. Here's a crash log:
{{{
creating dist
tar -cf dist/Django-1.2-beta-1.tar Django-1.2-beta-1
gzip -f9 dist/Django-1.2-beta-1.tar
removing 'Django-1.2-beta-1' (and everything under it)
copying dist/Django-1.2-beta-1.tar.gz ->
build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm/SOURCES
building RPMs
rpmbuild -ba --define _topdir
/home/cesar/package/django/build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm --clean
build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm/SPECS/Django.spec
error: File
/home/cesar/package/django/build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm/SOURCES/Django-1.2_beta_1.tar.gz:
No such file or directory
error: command 'rpmbuild' failed with exit status 1
}}}
For svn-based builds version is formatted as ''Django-1.2-beta-1''. This
version scheme violates RPM rules (see [http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ch-rpm-
file-format.html RPM File Naming Convention]) as it introduces an extra
dash.
Patch ''version.diff'' changes version formatting for SVN versions (e.g.
''Django-1.2_beta_1_svn~12743-1'').
The second issue is with source:django/trunk/setup.cfg file. It lists
''examples'' directory as containing doc files, while it is missing in the
repo. Attached ''doc_files.diff'' simply removes it.
Upon applying both of these patches I managed to build and install
bleeding edge Django version with yum package manager.
