Hi,

I have an RPM spec file that I have taken from a RHEL Summit PDF. On RHEL 5 this SPEC file builds ok. However when I try to build this RPM on RHEL 6 the build fails. Was there a change between RHEL5 & RHEL6 in the RPM build environment. I have attached my SPEC file and rpmbuild output below. Would appreciate if anyone can see what is missing ?

Thanks

My SPEC file taken direct from doc.

Seems pretty clear to me: you're missing this file, and I'd assume that
whatever you're building requires ntp.conf.

This SPEC file builds ok on RHEL5 and creates the rpm but fails to build on RHEL6. Sourc TAR is exactly the same on both server.

Jason,

First, please don't top post. We don't care what Outlook wants.... <g>

That may be the case, but it's possible that one of your dependencies
that's *not* your in-house stuff now has that as a requirement.

Interesting. I was looking to see if there was an ntp-devel, and ran
across this presentation:
<http://www.redhat.com/promo/summit/2010/presentations/summit/opensource-for-it-leaders/thurs/pwaterma-2-rpm/RPM-ifying-System-Configurations.pdf>.
On slide 40, he describes the .tgz going into an rpm:
Now we create a .tgz file containing the files going into
our RPM. Its contents look like this:
% tar tzf /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/config-1.tgz
config-1/
config-1/etc/
config-1/etc/ntp.conf

You're sure that it's not in your .tgz?

Definitely , the SOURCE and SPEC files were taken as is from my RHEL 5 server.

I'm pretty sure the way RHEL uses buildroot has changed between release. I can work around this but am curious as to why I am seeing this behavour.
