Public bug reported:
Trying to convert a custom program (it's really simple, just a set of
files in /opt/program, and some shortcuts), fails when converting
through alien:
aus...@ubuntu:~$ rm -rf program-1.8.0/ ; sudo alien -r
program-1.8.0.1-1_i386.deb
[sudo] password for austin:
Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package program: postinst
Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts.
Package build failed. Here's the log of the command (cd program-1.8.0 ;
rpmbuild -bb --target i386 program-1.8.0 -2.spec):
-2.spec: unknown option
An extra space is getting inserted somewhere...
I looked at the script a slight bit, removing '.$this->version."-"' from
/usr/share/perl/5.10.0/Alien/Package/Rpm.pm then gives:
aus...@ubuntu:~$ rm -rf program-1.8.0/ ; sudo alien -r
program_1.8.0.1-1_i386.deb
Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package program: postinst
Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts.
Package build failed. Here's the log of the command (cd program-1.8.0 ;
rpmbuild -bb --target i386 program-2.spec):
error: failed to stat /home/austin/program-1.8.0/program-2.spec: No such file
or directory
which of course fails. Perhaps I need to edit the .spec creation to
remove the version as well, but I haven't tried yet. I don't know
perl...
