Hi,
Yesterday I tried whether I could cross compile a helloworld.rpm to
try on a fedora-arm box, but I failed in building rpm-native.
This issue was verified by Jay. His log:
http://tinderbox.openembedded.net/public/logs/task/25555153.txt
apparently this is the failing part is:
file -C -m ./magic.mime

I tried the command in a devshell and there it also fails, but I have
not really an idea what is wrong (and I don't know too much about RPM
anyway)
Suggestions? Fixes ?
rpm depends on having a specific version of file around and there's probably
a mis-match.
Guess so.
Note that this is not host related as the file used is build by OE (file-native)
Actually maybe we should move to a newer version of rpm. Ours is at
4.4.2.3, latest stable is 4.8.1
and file on oe is 5.04, mainstream is 5.05, but I guess that will have
less impact.
In terms of doing anything with rpm, the best bet is to look at what
poky has done as Mark Hatle has spent a lot of time making rpm usable
and useful there. Or better yet, start working on oe-core where we've
inherited those benefits out of the box. I say this since rpm is a
complex beast and it's a non-trivial thing to make it "just work".
