Nasty things happen when you build rpms like that. See www.owlriver.com , Russ has an article there about it [1].
Agreed. I am hacking together a solution to put in to our
mockbuilder.
Needed to have a working subversion 1.6.x in our yum repo by Monday morning (client deliverable). I have goten everything to work until subversions make test launches apache as root.... It just
produced the
1st mod_dav_svn-1.6.12 rpm as I was typing this email.
Give me ten minutes I will publish the src.rpms...
I would be very skeptical as launching apache as root. Would
I did not and could not lauch apache as root, that is why I recompiled the chroot so I could use my build env as a non-root user.
like to see that specfile though, you can su in the specfile it self to switch to another user or daemon. I have an rpm that does just that.
Specfiles herein:
http://client.pdinc.us/subversion-1.6.12-yumrepo/
Please rip them apart.
Known issues:
1. python2.3 does not provide /usr/bin/python (breaks yum until you fix the #! line) 2. subversion has issues with swig at the moment and no attempt to make the perl or python parts. 3. subversion makes no attempt to use bdb. 4. the binary subversion-tools rpm depends on the unbilt subversion-perl rpm. 5. subversion build test are slow!
