Here's a message and patch from Troy Telford, one of the LNXI system software engineers in charge of maintaining our HiPer package repository:
Attatched is the patch I made to the freeipmi .specfile. The problem is pretty simple: on Red Hat distros, the macro %{_initrddir} evaluates to /etc/rc.d/init.d On SuSE distros, it evaluates to /etc/init.d/ So, this means on SuSE distros (and others, I'm sure), when it tries to move files from /etc/init.d to %{_initrddir}, it refuses to do anything and exits with an error. (As both the source and destination are the same file). This patch adds a simple conditional to check if %{_initrddir} ! = /etc/init.d before doing anything. --- diff --git a/freeipmi/SPECS/freeipmi.spec b/freeipmi/SPECS/freeipmi.spec index d2a9019..e3a5fe2 100644 --- a/freeipmi/SPECS/freeipmi.spec +++ b/freeipmi/SPECS/freeipmi.spec @@ -75,8 +80,11 @@ mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT DESTDIR="$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" make install # fix coherance problems with associated script filenames mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_initrddir}/ +if [[ "%{_sysconfdir}/init.d" != "%{_initrddir}" ]] +then mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_sysconfdir}/init.d/freeipmi-bmc-watchdog $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_initrddir}/freeipmi-bmc-watchdog mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_sysconfdir}/init.d/freeipmi-ipmidetectd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_initrddir}/freeipmi-ipmidetectd +fi rm -f %{buildroot}%{_infodir}/dir # kludge to get around rpmlint complaining about 0 length semephore file echo freeipmi > %{buildroot}/var/lib/freeipmi/ipckey @@ -246,6 +254,8 @@ fi %{_mandir}/man8/ipmidetectd.8* %changelog +* Wed Aug 01 2007 Troy Telford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.4.beta0 +- Some package cleanup so it builds on SLES * Wed Jun 13 2007 Phil Knirsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.4.beta0-1 - Some package cleanup and split of configuration and initscript * Fri Feb 28 2007 Albert Chu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0.4.beta0-1 -- 1.5.0 _______________________________________________ Freeipmi-devel mailing list Freeipmi-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-devel
