Is this the correct direction. > > Yes. The spec file is separate from the tarball. It seems that if a specfile is not present in the tarfile, then, rpmbuild -ta will issue an error and fail. For example, I have created a tarfile WITHOUT the spec file in it, and rpmbuild issues an error: [pjreger@Fedora23-dev wfr-psm-new-10]$ rpmbuild -ta libpsm2-10.1.2.tar.gz error: Failed to read spec file from libpsm2-10.1.2.tar.gz Comments please? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
