the hint with rpmbuild was good, it seems that my built epm (no special
configure switches) haven't found rpmbuild during the configure step and
switched back to rpm. I will check this but i assume i will run in the
same problems as Ariel then.

mmh, strange i will check it ones more and will try to understand why
rpm is called instead of rpmbuild.
Any hints are welcome.

I stumbled over problems using a downloaded epm 4.2

The epm call failed to build the rpm packages. It seems that epm
triggers /bin/rpm with some parameters that are not accepted. I don't
understand why at the moment.
/bin/rpm on a recent Fedora can not build packages, it can only do the
things necessary on a running system: install etc.; there is an extra
package "rpm-build" with a /usr/bin/rpmbuild program that is used to
build
packages.
epm executes rpmbuild here (Fedora 16):

PROBLEM: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.TNTmTG (%clean)
The error is clear: when trying to clean, it cds into a
non-existent directory and thus aborts.
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.TNTmTG is also clear about it.
Looking at RPMS folder while generating the first package, there is no
BUILD
folder inside.
With the patched epm 3.7 the BUILD folder is there, and removed after
the package is built.
I'm not sure where the issue is here, the whole thing does not look very
rpmbuild standard.
In a standard rpmbuild you have a root folder, usually ~/rpmbuild with
the following content:
RPMS
BUILD
SOURCES
SPECS
SRPMS
and packages are built inside ~/rpmbuild/BUILD, that's why rpmbuild
tries to cd there and clean.
i am now confused where you see that rpmbuild is used?
When i try to use a fresh downloaded unpatched version of epm 4.2 and
check the output and the log file i can only see that epm is called with
/usr/bin/epm -f rpm ooobasis3.4-gnome-integration
/home/jsc/dev/git/currentwork/main/instsetoo_native/unxlngx6.pro/OpenOffice/rpm/listfile/en-US/epm_gid_Module_Optional_Gnome.lst
--output-dir RPMS -v2 2>&1 |
and in the log file i can see that epm triggers rpm (well it looks that
epm trigger this)
....
Building RPM binary distribution...
/bin/rpm -bb --buildroot
"/home/jsc/dev/git/currentwork/main/instsetoo_native/unxlngx6.pro/OpenOffice/rpm/install/en-US_inprogress/RPMS/buildroot"
--target x86_64 RPMS/ooobasis3.4-gnome-integration.spec
I haven't noticed any call of rpmbuild.
