I think I have found a shortcoming in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL#Commit_Revision
Github line, which is
Source0:
https://github.com/OWNER/%{name}/archive/%{commit}/%{name}-%{shortcommit}.tar.gz
but I am not sure, so I have not made any edit to the wiki page.
In my case I am packaging bettercap-ng with the following attributes
commit eb1a53efa3171aefed0ec9766d8c5047bd0df289
shortcommit eb1a53e
rpmbuild parser will translate Source0 into
https://github.com/evilsocket/bettercap-ng/archive/eb1a53efa3171aefed0ec9766d8c5047bd0df289/bettercap-ng-eb1a53e.tar.gz
but if you try inserting such URL in your browser, Github will
return a file named
bettercap-ng-eb1a53efa3171aefed0ec9766d8c5047bd0df289.tar.gz
instead of
bettercap-ng-eb1a53e.tar.gz
so if you run locally
$ rpmbuild -bs rpmbuild/SPECS/bettercap.spec
you will obviously get
error: File /home/user/rpmbuild/SOURCES/bettercap-ng-eb1a53e.tar.gz: No such file or directory.
Therefore I think wiki line
Source0: https://github.com/OWNER/%{name}/archive/%{commit}/%{name}-%{shortcommit}.tar.gz
should be changed into
Source0: https://github.com/OWNER/%{name}/archive/%{commit}/%{name}-%{commit}.tar.gz
Am I right?
Best regards
