Add normal rpmbuild options for make rpm
----------------------------------------
Key: BIGTOP-60
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-60
Project: Bigtop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: RPM
Reporter: Peter Linnell
Priority: Minor
As I have been working on the hadoop packaging, it occurred to me it would
be nice to have an option where rpmbuild permits different steps of the
build with a -short-circuit option allowing you to for example run:
make CDH=cmf make hadoop-rpm -bi
Explanation:
For a long time rpmbuild allows you to short circuit the build steps for
diagnosis. So rpmbuild -bc does the compile part -ti does the build and
install steps without needing to wipe the buildroot and recompiling.
The reason I ask is much of the time of creating and modifying rpms is
not the compile parts, but getting the install, permissions and files
list correct.
Having this option would allow a quicker turnaround from
spec file changes to build completion. Most of the time in the make rpm
build is in the compile phase which can be lengthy at times.
