Hello

is any chance to share standard Makefile and RH Makefile? I am sorry.
I don't understand to Makefile absolutely. It's look so global
Makefile need some changes.

Any help is welcome.

Regards
Pavel Stehule

AFAICT, there's nothing wrong with the Makefile.  The problem is with
the specfile, which apparently is calling plain "make install".
It should read

%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

make DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT install

Devrim: you should be testing specfiles by building as non-root;
you would have caught this yourself.

Shouldn't one always build RPMs as non-root?

cheers

That'd be my advice --- the other way is archaic, not to mention a
bit of a security risk.

Even though it means a lot of work in my current setup, this is what
will happen eventually, especially after the Makefile.regress problem
you found. I should have seen it before.

Probably, if the packager is not lazy ;)

I hope nobody tries building in a directory with a space in it...

It's really not hard, it just takes a couple of minutes of one-time
setup.  Make a file ~/.rpmmacros containing (in my case)

%_topdir /home/tgl/rpmwork

then create the directory ~/rpmwork and under it the five directories
BUILD/    RPMS/     SOURCES/  SPECS/    SRPMS/

Now you put your SRPMS in ~/rpmwork/SRPMS and run rpmbuild there,
same as you would do in /usr/src/redhat, you're just not root.
Much safer.

(Obviously, you can put your rpmwork directory wherever you want and
call it whatever you want, adjusting the _topdir macro to match.
What I show above is the customary thing for Red Hat engineers,
though.)

I *know* how to build the RPMs as non root :-) -- we are talking about
~60 servers to be setup like this . That's why it will take a bit time.

I'll try to this asap.

You mean the RPM buildfarm?  I would've thought that was already set up
as non-root --- or are you skipping the regression-test step?

Yes.

No:(

Yes, that's why I could not find out the regression problem before you.

You don't need to set up all the machines this way, only the one where
you actually write and test the SPEC file.

Anyway, a single file listing the 60 servers and a for loop in shell
should be plenty to setup the environment Tom shows ...

Well, actually, I'm fairly unhappy that Devrim's skipping the "make
check" step while building those RPMs (which he must do because it
won't work as root).  So there seems to me to be plenty of argument
for fixing the build farm too.

But yeah, the immediate point is development of a new package's
specfile, which you'd hardly do on a server farm.

Some distributions set up their standard build areas under /usr/src to be 
world writeable (sticky bit and all).  You might find that that also works 
for you.  It might be easier to set up for the build farm.
