Hi,
investigating the FTBFS of ddrescue I noticed that upstream has
switched to releasing tarballs only in .lz compressed format. This is
currently not supported by rpmbuild.
How should one proceed with the situation? Manual decompression instead
of %setup?
You should still use %setup to setup the directory that will be used and
such. But yes, after that, do manual decompression to actually get the
sources onto the filesystem.
(PS: I have to refer to the Maximum RPM section on the flags you can give to
the %setup macro when I have to do this since I do it so infrequently:
