Create two different rpms in the same spec file
 

Hi,

I want to create two different rpms (one for redhat and the other for suse) in the same spec file.
I have a file that is needed be in the same path (/etc/init) for both distros,
The file's name is the same but its content is not the same for the two distros.
How can I do it?
Can %install can get "-n" as a parameter?

Thanks,
Doron Shoham

Create two different rpms in the same spec file
 

Maybe I didn't explain my problem:

I'm writing a spec file that creates 2 packages. Both packages contain a file that has the same name and path:

/etc/init.d/my_file - for package #1
/etc/init.d/my_file - for package #2

During the %install phase, I need to put these 2 different files in the same location (/etc/init.d/), so when I copy the 2nd file, it overwrites the 1st file. What can I do to solve that?

Thanks,
Doron

I don't think it's possible.
But you can use another approcah:
Have in this package both of those files:
/etc/init.d/my_file_for_package_1
/etc/init.d/my_file_for_package_2

And make %postinstall script, which should determine
what system is in use and create
/etc/init.d/my_file as link to
/etc/init.d/my_file_for_package_1 or
/etc/init.d/my_file_for_package_2

Why do you think of "-n"? Will the resulting package have different
names on RH and SUSE?

Anyway, it's simple when you use the %if / %endif constructions.
Note that it's a matter of taste if you really want this. In my
personal opinion, maintaining one spec file for multiple distros
often (with more complex packages) results in unnecessary complex
spec files.

Simplified example:


%if %(test -f /etc/redhat-release && echo 1 || echo 0)
%define target redhat
%endif

%if %(test -f ... && echo 1 || echo 0)
%define target suse
%endif

...

%install

%if %[target} == %{redhat}
cp %{SOURCE1} %{buildroot}/etc/rc.d/init.d/foo.init
%endif

%if %[target} == %{suse}
cp %{SOURCE2} %{buildroot}/etc/init.d/foo.init
%endif

...

%files

%if %[target} == %{redhat}
/etc/rc.d/init.d/foo.init
%endif
%if %[target} == %{suse}
/etc/init.d/foo.init
%endif


Note that this example is not complete and/or robust, of course.

As far as "production quality" specs that I use go, Sam Varshavchik
(Courier) and Buchan Milne (OpenLDAP) both do it with impunity (Buchan's
distinguishes purely between Mandriva and Red Hat derivatives).


Simon J Mudd (Postfix) forces the user first to run a script to
determine the OS/distro and build the spec file.


My own spec files use a version of Sam's, which I stole from him ...

Best,
