[HACKERS] [pgrpm-HACKERS]SPEC file for PostgreSQL

From

Hi,

I am trying to do a custom build (and generate binary and source RPM) package for PostgreSQL. 

I know community already has a RPM package, but I am trying to do a custom build.

I am using attached SPEC file. But I am not able to get binary rpm. rpmbuild always gives me source rpm only. Is there anything wrong with my spec file?

Towards end of the process I get below messages:

Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/PostgreSQL-9.3-1.x86_64
Wrote: /root/rpmbuild/SRPMS/PostgreSQL-9.3-1.src.rpm
Executing(%clean): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.m3q9Du
+ umask 022
+ cd /root/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ /bin/rm -rf /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/PostgreSQL-9.3-1.x86_64
+ exit 0

The file I am using is very basic (since I am just starting with the process). Does community maintain an rpm SPEC file for PostgreSQL? Can I get access to it?

It is incomplete.

There should be a %prep, %build, %install and %files section at least.

Start looking here:
http://yum.postgresql.org/srpms/9.3/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/repoview/postgresql93.html

The source RPMs contain the spec file.

Also, http://svn.pgrpms.org/browser/rpm/redhat/9.3/postgresql/ is the
SVN repo for 9.3 spec files and patches.

After a quick glance at your spec, I am not seing any %files section.

The file I am using is very basic (since I am just starting with the process). Does community maintain an rpm SPEC file for PostgreSQL?
Can I get access to it?
Use for example this command to create a git repository of that:
git svn clone http://svn.pgrpms.org/repo/rpm/redhat
Or a simple svn command...

If I were you, I'd simply take the community spec and modify it for my needs, it is already really complete and contains automatic management of for example translation files, smth that is always a pain to maintain manually.

I thought %files is non-mandatory.

I agree and that is why I asked for it :)
