On a fully updated (except for all the 7.5 packages in the CR repo,
which are NOT installed) Centos-7, attempting to create a binary RPM
for biblesync 1.2.0.
I've got the spec file (from the same download site as the .tar.gz source
file) in ~/rpmbuild/SPECS, and the .tar.gz file in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES.
I issue rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/biblesync.spec, and get a few
screens-full of output, which ends in this:
Processing files: biblesync-devel-1.2.0-1bsp.el7.centos.x86_64

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.LnSoWg (%doc)
RPM build errors:
bogus date in %changelog: Thu Nov 04 2014 Karl Kleinpaste
<k...@kleinpaste.org> - 1.1.2-1
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.LnSoWg (%doc)
being largely ignorant of how rpmbuild actually works, I blindly tried
removing that specific line from the spec file. no go. so I deleted
all the lines from the changelog section, leaving an empty changelog
section. no go. so I deleted the empty changelog section. same-o same-o.
I note that there is no file named README in the tar archive (there is
README.md though). So I removed README from the %doc section, removing
CHANGELOG entirely, the voila! it builds!
so I suppose this is a bug report for biblesync, if you want to consider
it as such.
