Is there any nice way in a .spec file to tell rpmbuild not to call brp-java-repack-jars? Some Web Searching indicates that most people just hack the script. Is there a better way ?

I've just started building RPMs myself, so I'm curious ... why would you want to not call brp-java-repack-jars?

Hi,

I have to install a particular application "Aptana Studio - Community Edition" and this script seems to break when dealing with this. I am not sure why yet and will do some further research. But current time constraints mean I must get the package out. I am confident that ignoring this step is ok in this case as installing the software manually is just un-tarring it into a directory.

For those who care - On FC6 / CentOS 4 - To Disable this you must hack the script as far as I can tell. I am told that on New Versions of Fedora (and I assume CentOS 5) that you can add %__jar_repack %{nil} to the top of the spec file.

Have a nice day :)

Why cant you twiddle with __os_install_post ?

I tried this, and it didn't work at all as I expected. I know that you build significantly more RPMS than I do and that they will be of better quality than mine. So if this is the prefered strategy then I sit corrected and appologies for an confusion I have bought to the list :)
