--define 'check exit 0' breaks generation of debugfiles.list
by Basin Ilya 01 Aug '16

01 Aug '16

Hi It's commonly advised that if .spec file doesn't support `--without check`, then to skip the check phase run rpmbuild with `--define 'check exit 0'`. But if I do so, some packages fail with: debugfiles.list: No such file or directory That's because `find-debuginfo.sh` not run after %install phase. Is it possible to skip the check without breaking generation of debugfiles.list and without editing the .spec file?

where is %{_docdir} defined ? and should use %{_defaultdocdir} or %{_docdir} and maybe we need update https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_tricks#Installing_documentation:_2_paths
by Sérgio Basto 01 Aug '16

Hello, %{_docdir} is a very strange macro , why rpm -E doesn't know what is %{_docdir} but %{_defaultdocdir} knows ? rpm -E "%{_docdir}" %{_docdir} rpm -E "%{_defaultdocdir}" /usr/share/doc So should I use %{_defaultdocdir} instead %{_docdir} ? and how %{_docdir} is set ? Another matter is this wiki page : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_tricks#Installing_documentation:_2… is not in line with https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UnversionedDocdirs , should I update wiki page and change %{name}-%{version} with just %{name} ? Also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package "rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" should be cleaned ? Best regards, -- Sérgio M. B.
