File listed twice
 

Hi,


*


I am trying to build RPM files for my software, and keep seeing
warnings during the rpmbuild process:


*


warning: File listed twice: [file name]


*


I see this repeatedly for each file (and there are many). I
recognize this may be the result of testing my build spec over and over again,
but how do I clear those errors out? Where are the files being listed twice?
These files are not listed twice in the %files list.


*


I am working on i386 Redhat 5ES.


*


Thanks,


*


Jeff.


*

Are you listing files twice? Maybe specifically and captured by a glob?

State isn't saved and so there isn't anything to clear out. Building
twice shouldn't be a problem.

In the %files section.

I believe you. But can you post your spec file so that we can inspect
it? If you want a second set of eyes on it then we will need to be
able to see it. It is probably too large for the mailing list (4k
message limit) in which case posting it to one of the free pastebins
and then posting the URL to it would be best.

Nope.

I'm on an isolated machine, did the install manually and a find * from the app root directory afterwards, and pumped that list into the %files section of the spec.

No file is listed twice in that listing, and the warning messages come for a single file in groups of 2-5.

There is no makefile and no installation script for this, just a untar and a bunch of file moves.

I'd rather not post the whole thing, but ill send it to you directly or post a redacted version. I'm afraid that the redacted version will not have all the details you may need to see the problem.



Please advise best next steps. Thank you for the quick response.

If you did 'find *' then your filelist contains both files and directories.
But if you specify directory in the %files than rpmbuild by itself added all files under this dir. And they are found by find too. Her you go - files found twice. In order to avoid it you have to specify directories with %dir attribute.
Or don't list files under any directory.
i.e instead of 'find *' you can use 'ls -1'

File listed twice
 

Interesting. I think that's the answer. I have directories in the file
list. So I need to pull them out.

If I have a big tree (that the entire installation is contained within),
with a 900 or so files, what is the easiest way to accomplish a
comprehensive and proper file list?

Thanks again for all the help.

Jeff.

List only the top-level files and directories your package should
own. For example, list %{_datadir}/yourapp/ as a directory, not all
its contents. That way your package will own the directory *and* the
contents. List files in system directories (e.g., %{_bindir}/yourapp)
individually. This technique properly delegates file/directory
ownership.
