Cheers Björn It's cool. Where I'm working these days, I have to be really careful about software provenance. I remain confused that the RPM's you publish all have something like this in their 'rpm -qi' information. Notice that the 'Source RPM' they lise is not the suse91 SRPM, it's an 'el5' SRPM. I assume this is because you're doing your builds for RHEL with a tool like 'mock', that first rebuilds the SRPM you are working from as a new SRPM precisely to get tags and PGP signatures right, then builds the RPM's from that. $ rpm -qip ldb-tools-3.5.2-43.el5.x86_64.rpm warning: ldb-tools-3.5.2-43.el5.x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID f4428b1a Name: ldb-toolsRelocations: (not relocatable) Version : 3.5.2 Vendor: Service Network GmbH, Goettingen Release : 43.el5Build Date: Tue 06 Apr 2010 07:37:55 AM EDT Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: sam Group : Productivity/Networking/Samba Source RPM: samba3-3.5.2-43.el5.src.rpm Size: 11378307 License: GPL v3 or later Signature : DSA/SHA1, Tue 06 Apr 2010 09:38:12 AM EDT, Key ID d9921b1cf4428b1a Packager: SerNet Samba Team sa...@sernet.de URL : http://www.samba.org Summary : SerNet Samba ldb tools Description : This packages contains the tools to manage ldb databases -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Thanks. I responded to Bjorn about the provenance of your SRPM.
Here are my error messages: This occurs on RHEL 5.4 and CentOS 5.4,
x86_64 architecture, in a normal home directory build and under mock.

Looking more deeply, I see your fascinating logic around
'this_is_redhat'., which seems to be failing. I've no idea why it's
failing, but I've previously found group statements to be a bit subtle
and unreliable unless you're very careful to set 'LANG' to something
predictable. In particular, in RHEL 5 with the default en_US.UTF8
setup, grep is case insensitive and should therefore be avoided unless
you set 'LANG=POSIX' or something reliable, first.
I'd like to suggest some cleaner logic for RedHat detection, as
included in this patch:

Volker Then you're missing a step in your descriptioin. The Samba RPM's claim that they are built from the SRPM samba3-3.5.2-43.el5.src.rpm, not that SuSE listed SRPM. If you're using a tool like mock to build from the SuSE SRPM, it's still not the SRPM actually used to build your binaries: the SRPM used to build the actual binaries is the SRPM that mock, itself, regenerates and can be found with the binaries in /var/lib/mock/epel-5-x86_64/results/ or wherever your build tool may put them. If this isn't what's happening, then something else fascinating is going on, and I'd welcome your explanation. I'm sorry if it seems pesky on my part: I do try to dot my i's and cross my t's about software source code and build procedures, especially for something so system-critical as Samba. And I *have* seen smart aleck software packagers put in '%ifdef and %ifarch statements around source components of their SRPM's, and even write self-modifying .spec files. That programmer and I had to have a talk about that little stunt: he wrote a bit of '%setup scripting that updated the release number and built from the new .spec file, but then he got the termination one and recursed the system into destruction, compiling as root, which I'd previously explained was a really bad idea. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
