The packaging/lsb/rsync.spec file is broken as shipped: It has a "Sept" month (rpmbuild here takes only 3-letter month names), and RH gzips the manpages, so the %files list can't find them. I also added doc/README-SGML and doc/rsync.sgml to the %doc files. Patch follows.
Thanks for all the good work! --- rsync-2.5.6/packaging/lsb/rsync.spec.orig 2003-01-28 06:28:35.000000000 +0100 +++ rsync-2.5.6/packaging/lsb/rsync.spec 2003-01-28 11:35:27.000000000 +0100 @@ -21,7 +21,13 @@ this package. %changelog -* Mon Sept 11 2000 John H Terpstra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +* Tue Jan 26 2003 Horst von Brand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> + Fixed "Sept" date in %changelog here + Use %{_mandir} to point at manpages + Some distributions compress manpages, add '*' to cover this + Add doc/README-SGML and doc/rsync.sgml to %doc + +* Mon Sep 11 2000 John H Terpstra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Changed target paths to be Linux Standards Base compliant * Mon Jan 25 1999 Stefan Hornburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> @@ -62,23 +68,25 @@ %setup %build -./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man +./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=%{_mandir} make CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" strip rsync %install -mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/{bin,share/man/{man1,man5}} +mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin +mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_mandir}/man{1,5} install -m755 rsync $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin -install -m644 rsync.1 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/man/man1 -install -m644 rsyncd.conf.5 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/man/man5 +install -m644 rsync.1 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mandir}/man1 +install -m644 rsyncd.conf.5 $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mandir}/man5 %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %files %attr(-,root,root) /usr/bin/rsync -%attr(-,root,root) /usr/share/man/man1/rsync.1 -%attr(-,root,root) /usr/share/man/man5/rsyncd.conf.5 +%attr(-,root,root) %{_mandir}/man1/rsync.1* +%attr(-,root,root) %{_mandir}/man5/rsyncd.conf.5* %attr(-,root,root) %doc tech_report.tex %attr(-,root,root) %doc README %attr(-,root,root) %doc COPYING +%attr(-,root,root) %doc doc/README-SGML doc/rsync.sgml -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513 -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
