Just grab the .bz2, or the SRPM http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/RPMS (still mirroring, I just uploaded it a bit ago) > This is obviously a trivial patch.

Signed-off-by is in reference to the Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 (see item 11 in the Linux kernel's source file Documentation/SubmittingPatches). ``` ## John Ellson, 2005-07-07 13:04 Subject: Re: BUG: "rpmbuild -ta cogito-0.12.tar.gz" fails Message-ID: <42CD2859.10608@research.att.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/42CD2859.10608%40research.att.com In-Reply-To: <20050707062019.GL5324@shell0.pdx.osdl.net> ``` Chris Wright wrote: >* John Ellson (ellson@research.att.com) wrote: > > >>"rpmbuild -ta cogito-0.12.tar.gz" fails because cogito.spec.in refers to >>".bz2" in its "Source:" line, instead of to ".gz". >> >> > >Just grab the .bz2, or the SRPM http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/RPMS >(still mirroring, I just uploaded it a bit ago) > > But: cd cogito cg-update make dist rpmbuild -ta cogito-0.12.tar.gz still doesn't work.

I start from the bz2 from kernel.org. thanks, -chris ``` ## John Ellson, 2005-07-07 17:23 Subject: Re: BUG: "rpmbuild -ta cogito-0.12.tar.gz" fails Message-ID: <42CD64F9.1010304@research.att.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/42CD64F9.1010304%40research.att.com In-Reply-To: <20050707170748.GN5324@shell0.pdx.osdl.net> ``` Chris Wright wrote: >* John Ellson (ellson@research.att.com) wrote: > > >>But: >> cd cogito >> cg-update >> make dist >> rpmbuild -ta cogito-0.12.tar.gz >> >>still doesn't work.

Is what I'm asking to do in the above sequence somehow unreasonable? Would it be any loss if the Source: line in cogito.spec.in refered to the .gz instead of the .bz2 such that the above sequence works for those of us that like to build rpms directly from the git tree? Alternatively, perhaps "make dist" could generate the .bz2 instead?

It's automated by kernel.org mirroring (along with signature generation). So .gz is built, uploaded, the rest is automatic. > Is what I'm asking to do in the above sequence somehow unreasonable? > Would it > be any loss if the Source: line in cogito.spec.in refered to the .gz > instead of the .bz2 such that the > above sequence works for those of us that like to build rpms directly > from the git tree? Yes, I've got a patch for the spec.in, I'll toss that in. > Alternatively, perhaps "make dist" could generate the .bz2 instead? No, because of the way kernel.org mirroring works. thanks, -chris ```
