I'm trying to use rpmbuild to build x86-64 packages and libs-32bit package. The same src rpm is uesd to build both output packages. What is the arguments to rpmbuild to make package-lib-32bit-X.x.x68_64.rpm ? I currently do this to get a 32-bit package: CC='gcc -m32' CXX='g++ -m32' linux32 rpmbuild -bb -target=i586 package.spec That gi...

Hi, I've never had to do this and I'm not really sure you can do it or not. But can I use RPM to distribute an already created *.bin file (a Linux self extracting binary files). My scenario is this, we use RPM to distribute all of our software. I have a piece of vendor software thats already a bin file. Say myapp.bin. I would like to us...

GNU/Linux Ubuntu >= 9.10: /home/rpmbuild/... GNU/Linux Fedora: /usr/src/redhat/... So how can I set manually the destination folder for all OS? ...
It seems that the RPM logic is quite different from what I know already and I am having some issues understanding the "RPM logic". For my work, I have to create a documentation on "How-to create a RPM package on Red Hat 5". I'm used to Debian and it's derivatives (Ubuntu, and so on) and thus to Debian packages (aka. .deb files). From ...
Hi, I have a library from which I'd like to create two RPM packages. While I found several links on how to create a basic RPM package, I can't find how to create a devel package (see this question if you wonder what a devel package is). What do I have to do to generate both devel and non-devel versions of my RPM package ? Thanks. ...
I have a target directory that is checked into svn. I use the target as the --buildroot when I run rpmbuild. This causes rpmbuild to loose it mind because of the .svn directories in each directory. Is there a way to tell rpmbuild to relax? I looked at svn export target target-build, but it only knows about files tracked by rpm. Perh...
I'm modifying an automated build, and want to tell rpmbuild to use a specific build area when invoking it. This is similar to an existing question, but more specific. I don't want to run any of the build commands as the root user; the aim is only to have an RPM, not to install anything into the system. I don't want to require the user...

I added the following "Pre" section to my rpm installer's build.spec. When I install the rpm no new group or user is created? If I paste this into a script and run, then it works as expected.

Hi, I'm a newbie and I'm trying to write a python script to build rpm packages as part of an automated build system (Hudson). I'm looking at the rpm-python API but I can't seem to see anything that relates to rpmbuild. Am I missing something or is there no way to build an rpm package through the rpm api's? I was hoping I wouldn't hav...
