Makefile.common problem
This ticket was filed in infrastructure's trac. I've been told this is
actually where it should go::
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1412
Makefile.common currently causes build failures when doing "make local"
with a package containing a noarch subpackage.
The problem is on line 38: LOCALARCH := $(if $(shell grep -i
'^BuildArch:.*noarch' $(SPECFILE)), noarch, $(shell uname -m))
First, it cannot grep noarch in this way now, second, there should be
$(shell rpm --eval %{_arch}) instead of $(shell uname -m).
As discussed on #fedora-devel with Toshio and Adam Jackson, this should
be now probably changed to plain: LOCALARCH := $(shell rpm --eval %{_arch})
For noarch only packages this means they'll be built in a $arch
directory, but that's not an issue IMHO.
...it would be nice to fix this soon, I indeed spent some time looking
around what happens to find out why my noarch subpackages fail locally
and build fine in Koji -- would like to spare this time for others;)
