Package: rpm Version: 4.4.1-12 Severity: normal GNU tar Version 1.16-1 needs Option "--wildcards" to enable pattern matching.
"rpmbuild -ta" uses something like "tar xOf package.tar.gz \*.spec" to extract the SPEC from the tarball. Tar complains instead of printing the SPEC file, so rpmbuild fails. $ LANG=C tar -xOzf package.tar.gz \*.spec tar: Pattern matching characters used in file names. Please, tar: use --wildcards to enable pattern matching, or --no-wildcards to tar: suppress this warning. tar: *.spec: Not found in archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors $ rpmbuild -ta package.tar.gz error: Name field must be present in package: (main package) error: Version field must be present in package: (main package) error: Release field must be present in package: (main package) error: Summary field must be present in package: (main package) error: Group field must be present in package: (main package) error: License field must be present in package: (main package) $ ls -l /usr/src/rpm/SPECS/ total 0 -rw------- 1 woffs woffs 0 Nov 29 12:55 tar: Pattern matching characters used in file names. Please, Maybe this is a tar bug.
