[issue11122] bdist_rpm fails
New submission from James purplei...@gmail.com: Hi distutils, When I run: ./setup.py bdist --formats=rpm on my source directory, I get the error: rpm -ba --define _topdir /home/james/code/scantran/build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm --clean build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm/SPECS/scantran.spec -ba: unknown option error: command 'rpm' failed with exit status 1 It seems the problem can be fixed by installing the rpm-build package (on fedora 14 anyways) and so perhaps something should be done so that this is more obvious...

[issue11122] bdist_rpm fails
James purplei...@gmail.com added the comment: In the source for distutils it seems to attempt to use 'rpmbuild' if it exists, but otherwise falls back on regular 'rpm', however in my rpm: $ rpm --version RPM version 4.8.1 this fails as there is no -ba option.

[issue11122] bdist_rpm fails
Eric Smith e...@trueblade.com added the comment: rpm -ba is very old. I think it's been at least since 2002 that -ba was supported by rpm. I believe bdist_rpm is calling rpmbuild -ba, and if that doesn't exist, then rpm -ba is a transition strategy until all systems supported rpmbuild. This transition period should be over. Unfortunately today it's far more likely that rpm -ba will not be what you want to call, but rpm will almost always be found, giving this error. Most systems (certain RedHat based) ship rpmbuild as a separate command. RedHat installs it via the rpm-build package. I'd suggest just switching bdist_rpm to always use rpmbuild. Then at least the error would be that rpmbuild isn't found. -- nosy: +eric.smith ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue11122 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
