scl and brp-compress
by Andrew Ford 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

I have now build perl collections for perl 5.8.0 (RedHat 8) and 5.8.8 (RHEL5) on CentOS 5, but I noticed that the brp-compress script does not compress man pages in the scl directory hierarchy. What I did to overcome this is add the following lines to the %install section of my spec file: if [ -x /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress ]; then sed -e 's!/usr/!%{_prefix}/!g' /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress >brp-compress sh ./brp-compress fi Andrew

Building perl-5.16.1 collection on CentOS 5.8
by Andrew Ford 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

I am trying to build Marcela Mašláňov's perl516 and perl-5.16.1 packages on CentOS 5.8. I had a couple of problems getting perl516 to build: firstly rpmbuild requires a Group directive - I specified application/development, and secondly rpm 4.4.2.3 seems to require BuildRoot. I was wondering whether it would be possible to detect the RPM version and add those directives conditionally. Next I tried to build perl-5.16.1, initially without scl. That failed immediately as the line BuildRequires: perl516-build should be wrapped in a conditional scl macro, i.e.: %{?scl:BuildRequires: %{scl}-build} With that in place the build succeeds but rpmbuild finds a shedload of unpackaged debug files under /usr/lib/debug. For a quick and dirty solution, I defined debug_package as %{nil} and the package built OK, except that all the RPMs were built as noarch. I'll investigate the debug and arch issues later. When I installed the perl516 package and tried to rebuild perl-5.16.1 as a non-scl package it now tries to build the scl package. This seems to be due to the line %scl perl516 in /etc/rpm/macros.perl516-macros. This also makes it impossible to build perl514 while perl516-build is installed. In fact I would think it would make it impossible to build other base SCL packages unless one specified the "--define 'scl <pkgname>'" on the command line. Is it necessary to have %scl defined in the macros.perl516-macros file? I thought that scl was supposed to be defined with --define on the invocation of rpmbuild - and I presume that all files in /etc/rpm are loaded by rpmbuild at startup (I need to look through the rpmbuild sources and possibly run it in the debugger). With the perl516-build package installed the build trips over on check-rpaths: ERROR: 0002: file '/opt/rh/perl516/root/usr/bin/perl5.16.1' contains an invalid rpath '/opt/rh/perl516/root/usr/lib64/perl/CORE' in [/opt/rh/perl516/root/usr/lib64/perl5/CORE] I'll do a bit of digging into these issues, learn up on rpm-building, and hopefully get the perl-5.16.1 SCL package built on CentOS/RHEL 5. Then I'll start on SCL-izing 5.8.8 on CentOS 5.8. Andrew

scl-utils on EPEL5/6
by Andrew Ford 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

The scl-utils package on epel5 is still version 20120229-1, and on epel6 it's 20120423-2. Any ideas why they haven't been updated to 20120809?

new packages in collections
by Marcela Mašláňová 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Hi list, we have new packages (or versions) build for collections. On the main page [1] you can found new version of unixODBC connector for EL-5 [2] and EL-6 [3]. Also ppc packages are included. PHP 5.4 Software Collection was build with mysql-5.5. It should also work on both ELs.
