We've recently upgraded CMake from 2.8+ to 3.5+ (different versions on
different platforms). In so doing, our CMake invocation of CPack to create
RPMs now fails and I'm hoping someone can help. I have a spec file and I want
to run rpmbuild -bb, but I can't figure out how to do it.
We have been using a custom spec file all along, but I found information
indicating that doing so is (now?) considered a hack and that everything should
be possible merely by setting CPACK_* variables. Unfortunately, that's not the
case. With the following %files entries, CPackRPM.cmake chokes:
%defattr(-, %{user}, %{group}, 0755)
%dir %{destination}
%dir %{versioned}
%dir %{foo}
%{foo}/*.sh
%attr(555, %{user}, %{group}) %{foo}/a
%dir %{bar}
%attr(544, %{user}, %{group}) %{bar}/b
%attr(444, %{user}, %{group}) %{bar}/*common
%{bar}/lib
The result is that my attempt to port to the all-variable approach failed, so
I'm setting CPACK_RPM_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE to refer to my spec file as before.
Unfortunately, when I do so, CPackRPM.cmake doesn't set RPMBUILD_FLAGS, and
that leads to rpmbuild doing nothing useful. The issue is in the following
code:
# We should generate a USER spec file template:
# - either because the user asked for it :
CPACK_RPM_GENERATE_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE_TEMPLATE
# - or the user did not provide one : NOT CPACK_RPM_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE
if(CPACK_RPM_GENERATE_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE_TEMPLATE OR NOT
CPACK_RPM_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE)
set(RPMBUILD_FLAGS "-bb")
I tried just setting RPMBUILD_FLAGS to -bb in my CMakeLists.txt, where I
include CPack, but that isn't propagated to CPackRPM.cmake. I tried adding a
custom target that invoked "${CMAKE_CPACK_COMMAND} -D RPMBUILD_FLAGS=-bb", but
that didn't work either.
If the regex processing of the %files content were more robust, I wouldn't trip
over the RPMBUILD_FLAGS issue, but either CPACK_RPM_USER_BINARY_SPECFILE is
supported or it isn't, and since it is currently, it should be possible for me
to set RPMBUILD_FLAGS.
Ideas?
