Hello folks,
I tried to make a RPM package to distribute some config files for metricbeat.
Unfortunately I get an error with rpmbuild that I can't explain.
I already read your article about building a rpm, that helps me to understand it better, but not enough to solve this.
I know that you have enough to do with supporting your own packages, but if you have time to take a look, would be nice.
This is my environment I have to deal with:
cat /home/rpmadm/.rpmmacros
%_topdir /export/standardbuild
%_tmppath /export/standardbuild/tmp
%_sourcedir /export/standardbuild/SOURCES
%_rpmdir /export/standardbuild/RPMS
%_srcrpmdir /export/standardbuild/SRPMS
%_builddir /export/standardbuild/COMP_BUILDS/%{name}
My Makefile looks like this:
packagename = metricconf
%_sourcedir = /export/standardbuild/SOURCES
# version number of package: make sure you also update the version
# number in the spec file
version = 1.0
all:
@echo "usage: make dist | package"
install:
if [ ! -d $(DESTDIR)/tmp/$(packagename) ]; \
then \
mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/tmp/$(packagename); \
fi
cp mb_system_betrieb.yml $(DESTDIR)/tmp/$(packagename)/mb_system_betrieb.yml
cp metricbeat $(DESTDIR)/tmp/$(packagename)/metricbeat
cp metricbeat.yml $(DESTDIR)/tmp/$(packagename)/metricbeat.yml
dist:
tar cvf $(packagename)-$(version).tar ../$(packagename)-$(version)
gzip $(packagename)-$(version).tar
cp $(packagename)-$(version).tar.gz $(%_sourcedir) && rm $(packagename)-$(version).tar.gz
package: rpm
rpm:
rpmbuild -ba $(packagename).spec
rm -rf $(packagename)-$(version).tar
And this is my .spec file:
Summary: configures Metricbeat for AIX
Name: metricconf
Version: 1.0
Release: 0
Vendor: Comp
Source: metricconf-1.0.tar.gz
BuildRoot: %{_builddir}/%{name}-{version}
Requires: metricbeat
%description
metricconf prepares AIX for metricbeat
%prep
%setup -c
%build
%install
%files
%defattr(644,root,system)
/tmp/metricbeat.yml
/tmp/mb_system_betrieb.yml
/tmp/metricbeat
make dist works well and the .tar.gz file will be created correctly. But the make rpm command fails every time with following error:
make rpm
rpmbuild -ba metricconf.spec

Please, can anyone explain to me why rpmbuild is looking in "/export/standardbuild/tmp/metricconf-1.0-0.ppc" for the files and not in "/export/standardbuild/COMP_BUILDS/metricconf/metricconf-1.0" ???
If anyone could give me a hint, it would be very apreciated...
Many thanks in advance.
best regards,
Joerg
