Help !!!!! Binary RPM naming | doubt

["Lis Maria Thomas" <lthomas2 sapient com>]

Hi

Now I am able to build the binary rpms with the name I specify.But now
there is one more problem,

It is writing two binary rpms with the same name in the /RPMS/i386
folder and when I try to install the rpm it is installing the debuginfo
rpm instead of the binary rpm.

To be more specific,

The output of my rpmbuild is :

Processing files: zzz-1.0-1
Requires(interp): /bin/sh
Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
Requires(post): /bin/sh
Processing files: zzz-debuginfo-1.0-1
Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files
/var/tmp/my-build
Wrote: /home/mine/redhat/SRPMS/zzz-1.0-1.src.rpm
Wrote: /home/mine/redhat/RPMS/i386/xxx-1.0-1.i386.rpm
Wrote: /home/mine/redhat/RPMS/i386/xxx-1.0-1.i386.rpm

Now,as a root,when I try to install rpm -ivh xxx-1.0-1.i386.rpm,it is
actually installing zzz-debuginfo-1.0-1.

I am not able to figure out what the mistake and where is this
zzz-debuginfo-1.0-1 coming from.

Can somebody help me ! ! !

Thanks in Advance

Lis

Hi

I need some more help please.

As u said in your previous mail, I tried to run rpmbuild command in the
following ways


1) rpmbuild -ba yyy.spec --define "_build_name_fmt
%_arch/xxx-%{version}-%{release}.%_arch.rpm"

2) rpmbuild -ba yyy.spec --define "_build_name_fmt
%{ARCH}/lis-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}.rpm"
 

In both the cases, I am getting the error as

error: Could not generate output filename for package zzz: unknown tag

Note: zzz is the value of the name tag in the spec file


Regards

Lis

Note also that it isn't creating the i386 rpms under a i386
subdirectory.

The default _build_name_fmt is
%{ARCH}/%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}.rpm

Try changing your define to something like:
%{ARCH}/thenameiwant-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}.rpm
