Hi,


I’m using rpm 4.4.7
which I have built on HPUX 11.23 / ia64. I have written a spec file with a specific
%clean section. However, it seems that this one is not processed, but replaced
by a default one which simply removes the buildroot directory. Is there
something new to set or configure with this version, in order to use its own
%clean section ?


Regards,

The %clean section is deprecated because it was almost always
identical to the new built-in version, or it was incorrect/missing.
If your package requires something in %clean that isn't covered in the
default, you've probably made a packaging error.

If you pastebin the spec file, I'm sure folks would be willing to take
a gander at it for you and give you some feedback.

PS: You probably want to move this to rpm-users@rpm5.org for all
versions of RPM > 4.4.2

Hi,

Instead of the command " rm -rf %{buildroot} " in the
%clean section use something like "rm -rf src" where the
folder src is the one which you want to clean.

It looks like you didn't parse the original question very well.

In fact, I'm using the %{buildroot}.tmp as a temporary working directory to store especially my own find_requires script (including "%{__cat} >/dev/null") and a env.sh shell script, used to pass some environment variables between the building scriptlets. So my %clean section removes both %{buildroot} and %{buildroot}.tmp directories.
Is there really no way at all to enable the %clean section ?

In your case you can just do "rm -rf %{buildroot}.tmp" at the end of
%install, isn't it?

And what about the find_requires script used by the __find_requires macro ?

Good point, but you can also store that in your build tree (or directly
refer to %{SOURCEx} if it's a static script provided by you).

The %clean section has been refactor'd to be part of build configuration rather
than package recipe.Override this macro in your specfile if you want to change what %clean doesin rpm-4.4.7 and later (the default value, simplified, is included):
** *%define __spec_clean_body * rm -rf %{buildroot};There are likelier better ways than %{buildroot}.tmp to carry customdependency filters, but I'll leave the packaging style choices to you.

In fact, it seems that
the %__spec_clean_post needs to be set instead of
*%__spec_clean_body.
