Bug 190214 – app-portage should use rpm build directory, not redhat directory.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Andrey Falko 2007-08-25 18:34:29 UTC]

This can be worked around in the rpm package, however, all previous rpm pacakge, including the current stable one, are geared to use /usr/src/rpm/ as the rpmbuild directory. Portage's bin/misc-functions.sh should point to /usr/src/rpm instead of /usr/src/redhat...see attached patch.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ebuild portage-utils-0.1.23.ebuild rpm
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
tar: tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/portage-utils-0.1.23.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Created attachment 129172 [details, diff]
fix-rpmbuild-dir.patch

Apply patch to bin/misc-functions.sh

I don't know why I created a patch, this should be much easier:

sed -i -e 's/redhat/rpm/g' bin/misc-functions.sh
