G'day all,
using RedHat 7.3 I am trying to package some some stuff as an RPM, I have the
specfile as part of the CVS source tree so that any user who can check out
the code and build it can make an RPM without too much trouble.(that is the
plan anyway)
The problem is I would like to use a different "topdir" than /usr/src/redhat
and according to the documentation I should just make a .rpmrc file in my
home directory with this entry
topdir: /home/garethw/newtopdir
The problem is when I try and build the package with RPM I get
RPM build errors:
bad option 'topdir' at /home/garethw/.rpmrc:1
Bad file: /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/server: No such file or directory
error: bad option 'topdir' at /home/garethw/.rpmrc:1
So what am I doing wrong?
Is there another way to tell rpm not to usr /usr/src/redhat ??
