I've been trying to
build an RPM on an AIX system and I'm running into a silly little issue - the
AIX rpm insists on putting 'aix5.3' onto the RPM name, even if I build it with
BuildArch: noarch
Â*
If I take the same
spec file and put it on a RHEL system and build it there - it works fine.Â*
So my question is - is there some spec file way of saying what the actual RPM
name should end up looking like?Â* I've tried building with --target but
that didn't help.Â* Should I be unsetting some tag to make aix 5.3 go
away?
Â*
AIX builds:
facter-1.3.8-4.aix5.3.noarch.rpm
RHEL builds: facter-1.3.8-4.noarch.rpm
Â*
The RPM version on
AIX is older, but it's what IBM provides,
[stha3155@nickel1:~/rpm]$ rpm --version
RPM version
3.0.5

RHEL:
[stha3155@octane2.star.corp:~/rpm/SPECS]$ rpm --version
RPM version
4.4.2
Â*
I've tried search
the rc for any 'aix' strings:
Â*
[stha3155@nickel1:~/rpm]$ rpm --showrc | grep aix
build
osÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*
: aix5.3
compatible build os's : aix5.3
install
osÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* :
aix5.3
compatible os'sÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* : aix5.3 aix5.2
aix5.1 aix5.0
aix4.3
macrofilesÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*
:
/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/macros:/opt/freeware/lib/rpm/ppc-aix5.3/macros:/etc/rpm/macros.specspo:/etc/rpm/macros:/etc/rpm/ppc-aix5.3/macros:~/.rpmmacros
-14:
_hostÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â* powerpc-ibm-aix5.1
-14:
_host_aliasÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* powerpc-ibm-aix5.1
-14:
_host_osÂ*Â* aix5.1
-14:
_osÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* aix
-11:
_targetÂ*Â*Â* ppc-aix5.3
-11= _target_os
aix5.3

Obviously, since I'm
building 'noarch' packages, I can build them on the RHEL system and be done with
it - this is more of a curiosity than anything.
Â*
Here's the spec file
( any comments on other parts of this spec file are welcome as well
)

%define rubylibdir
%(ruby -rrbconfig -e 'puts Config::CONFIG["sitelibdir"]')
%define rubybindir

Because your message came through as an attachment it's hard for me to
quote any of it, but you want to investigate the setting for either

%_build_name_fmt

or

rpmfilename

I don't remember which one RPM 3.x used, but I would start with
%_build_name_fmt. That's what controls how the file is named with modern
RPM.

Note, though, that for the example you give, I'm not sure it would be
advisable to change your %_build_name_fmt, other than to just add
%%{ARCH} to what's already there.

Put in ~/.rpmmacros

%_rpmfilename** %%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{RELEASE}.%%{ARCH}.rpm
