My configure line is :

./configure     --with-o2ib --disable-server --without-ldiskfs          \
                --disable-doc --disable-manpages                        \

                --with-linux-config=${BOBJ}/linux-${KVER}-obj/x86_64/default/.config    || exit 1

Which makes this surprising given that lustre.spec says:

%if %\{with manpages\}
BuildRequires: python-docutils
%endif

Fixing this exposes another bug:

make: *** [srpm] Error 1

Once configure flags are passed to the srpm build to fix the dependency problem, the srpm name is subject to be changed to lustre-client. This is also easy to fix, leading to:

diff --git a/autoMakefile.am b/autoMakefile.am

        cp $$rpmbuilddir/SRPMS/$(distdir)-*.src.rpm $(top_srcdir) || exit 1; \

Which I stashed in a branch and would be happy to submit as a single or series of patches.

But I'm curious why there is a separate srpm build stage, and if I just nuke that instead.

Could you please advise?

Thanks

Could you provide the complete commands sequence to reproduce this issue? I cannot reproduce this on my machine but this is RHEL 6.7. Probably this is an issue with RPM on SuSe. I need more details to understand.

When RPM produce .srpm package the "BuildRequires" from .spec file are not used. So, this line should not be an issue during srpm make target.

My configure line is in the description. $BOBJ is just a directory with a copy of the directories the kernel packages install in /usr/src/. After configure is 'make', which leads to this error.

There is clearly a difference in behavior between the sles11 and rhel6 rpm commands: I made a simple spec:

Name: foo
Version: 0.1
Release: 1
License: GPLv2
Group: Development/Tools/Other
Source: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/foo/foo-0.1.tar.gz
URL: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/foo
Summary: Universal foo machine
BuildRequires: bar-devel >= 9000

%description
None of this foo ever works like it's suppose do.

%prep
%setup

%build
touch foo

%install
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib/%{NAME}-%{VERSION}
cp foo $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib/%{NAME}-%{VERSION}/foo

%files
%defattr(-,root,root)
/usr/lib/%{NAME}-%{VERSION}

RHEL6.6:

$ rpmbuild -ts foo-0.1.tar.gz
Wrote: /home/schamp/rpmbuild/SRPMS/foo-0.1-1.src.rpm

SLES11SP3:

$ rpmbuild -ts foo-0.1.tar.gz
error: Failed build dependencies:
        bar-devel >= 9000 is needed by foo-0.1-1.x86_64

SLES11 : rpm-4.4.2.3-37.63.64.1
RHEL6 : rpm-4.8.0-47.el6.x86_64

Fedora, with rpm-4.12.0.1-12.fc22.x86_64 has the same behavior as RHEL. I don't have an OpenSuSE or SLES 12 box handy to test - but I suspect that this is a bug fixed between 4.4 and 4.8

Do we want to work around this behavior? SLES 11 will be around for another year or two, and 11SP4 still has rpm-4.4.

Can I just check with Dmitry and Stephen if this ticket is still being worked on?

If not, I'd like to mark it as resolved.
