Hi everyone, I was building an rpm the other day of the latest release (it looks great, can't wait to try it out) and noticed a lil problem: It doesn't like "-" in version names...
[root@server ~]# rpmbuild -tb openvpn-2.3-alpha1.tar.gz error: line 19: Illegal char '-' in version: Version: 2.3-alpha1 Solution is simple -- untar, change directory name, change version in .spec file, re-tar/gz, re-run rpmbuild: [root@server ~]# tar zxf openvpn-2.3-alpha1.tar.gz [root@server ~]# mv openvpn-2.3-alpha1 openvpn-2.3_alpha1 [root@server ~]# sed -i "s/2\.3-alpha/2\.3_alpha/" openvpn-2.3_alpha1/openvpn.spec [root@server ~]# tar czf openvpn-2.3_alpha1.tar.gz openvpn-2.3_alpha1/ [root@server ~]# rpmbuild -tb openvpn-2.3_alpha1.tar.gz Now it's good to go for the rpmbuild -tb. I guess I'm the only one building this for CentOS -- I didn't see anything on google about anyone else having this problem. Anyway I think it'd be nice for 2.3_alpha2 to not have a dash, if that fits with your dispositions :) -George
