[EPEL-devel] EPEL5 man page compression
Hi,
Has something changed with the way that EPEL5 packages are built that
means man pages are no longer automatically compressed?
I've just tried to build a new ncdu package (version 1.12) for EPEL5,
but it failed:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=15482900
The man page is installed uncompressed:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ncdu.1
'/var/tmp/ncdu-1.12-1.el5-root-mockbuild/usr/share/man/man1'
The build failed because ncdu.1.gz (which is meant to go into the
RPMs) couldn't be found, and ncdu.1 (which shouldn't exist when the
RPMs are created) was unpackaged.
This wasn't an issue with the last build (1.11) I did in April 2015:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=626540
Again the man page was installed uncompressed, but had been
(automatically) compressed by the time the RPM was created.
Comparing the build logs, these lines from the 1.11 build aren't
present for the 1.12 build:
+ /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh /builddir/build/BUILD/ncdu-1.11
extracting debug info from /var/tmp/ncdu-1.11-1.el5-root-mockbuild/usr/bin/ncdu
278 blocks
+ /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot
+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-compress
+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive /usr/bin/strip
+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-comment-note /usr/bin/strip /usr/bin/objdump
+ /usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-bytecompile
+ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-java-repack-jars
Thanks for any help!
