Re: [Ltib] RPM archive is empty after ./ltib -m scdeploy command

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Leo,

I think the problem is with your %files section rather than an issue with scdeploy.  I don't think your file selector is picking up any files.  This could be because one of the terms in %{libdir}/libgstaudio-%{majorminor}.so does not expand correctly, or because the path is not quite right.

Here's something you could try: clone your built project (rsync -av /path/to/project project_clone) and then:

cd project_clone
rm -rf rpm/BUILD/_pkg_dir_
../ltib -p _pkg_

then take a look at the package itself.  I suspect you'll find the fully built package is also small.  If it is, then the problem is with the %files clause.

My advice would be to use the recommended ltib template pattern of:
%files
%defattr (-,root,root)
%(pfx)/*

I am aware of all the things you can do in RPM spec files, but the idea was to keep the .spec files as simple as possible and only use them in ltib.

Regards, Stuart

Problem Statement

I have two packages that successfully build and install, scbuild and scinstall, respectively.

The files listed in the .spec file were found, copied, and stored in the correct directories in the tmp folder.  Files were confirmed.

However, after executing scdeploy [./ltib -m scdeploy -p <pkg>], the <pkg>.rpm has a file size of 1.3KB and is empty, far less than the 12MB.

What is the possible reason(s) this could occur?

Details:

File Specification Type A:

The 20 packages that successfully generate a RPM package containing files have a general file list, i.e.

%files

%defattr (-,root,root)

%(pfx)/*

The two packages that generate empty RPM packages were modified to list the individual files as a “best coding practice” and provide traceability.

File Specification Type B:

%files

%defattr (-,root,root)

%{pfx}%{libdir}/libgstaudio-%{majorminor}.so

….

To summarize, File Type A generates a proper RPM package, while Type B generates RPM packages that are empty (file size = 1.3KB).
