New submission from Ben Hyde <bh...@pobox.com>: With the fix below is becomes possible to build rpms on the Mac.
The developer will need to install rpm tooling. That's easy via "brew install rpm". That, for example, installs /usr/local/bin/rpmbuild. Sadly bdist_rpm.py only supports rpmbuild in two places, see: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/6f0eb93183519024cb360162bdd81b9faec97ba6/Lib/distutils/command/bdist_rpm.py#L313 Which due to the Mac's fastidious security setup we are very strongly discouraged from working around. So, yeah, let's add a third, like so maybe: if ((os.path.exists('/usr/bin/rpmbuild') or os.path.exists('/bin/rpmbuild') or os.path.exists('/usr/local/bin/rpmbuild'))): rpm_cmd = ['rpmbuild'] And now I can use build_rpm on my mac, oh joy. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 308080 nosy: bhyde, dstufft, eric.araujo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: bdist_rpm v.s. the Macintosh type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32281> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
