Before I start flooding the list with diagnostics, I wanted to check if anyone is doing this right now. I've found several general issues I can't resolve:
* Some of the .spec files are writing files to system directories on
the build systems, which can't be right. For example, some of the
perl module RPM specs are writing to perl system directories
during rpmbuild -ba.
* Many of the spec files don't use the BuildRoot directive or the
RPM_BUILD_ROOT variable, causing the %install directives to do
funny things like write to system directories during package builds.
* Many of the "install" targets want to set group and owner even
when called for package builds. This isn't that bad, although it
does require the package builds to run as "root". Since the
scripts are otherwise also misbehaving, though, this makes running
the scripts as root a little risky :-(I notice that the last RPMs I found posted were for 0.9.1. Has anyone built the RPMs since then?
I'm assuming that at least some of these issues will affect the Debian packagers as well. Have you folks figured out good work arounds?
General info: I'm building on RedHat 9 using
make -f Makefile.devel rpms
Thanks, Rob Torenware Networks
