Redhat 7.1 system, and a patch that fixed the spec file. The problem occurred on several recent rsync releases, including 2.5.7:
rpm -tb --define '_topdir /home/user/tmp/rpmbuild' rsync-2.5.7.tar.gz
ALMOST works; it uses the spec file in lsb, not redhat/7.1. This spec file fails due to bad date format in one line, and not finding man pages since they are in gzipped format.
The following patch addresses these problems:
