IMHO, /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive should deal with that, temporarily adding write permission or using a temporary file. I suppose seeing how e2fsprogs is packaged natively on rhel6 might be educational in resolving this issue in our own packaging.</p> rhel6 LU-204

Bug Minor Resolved Duplicate Brian Murrell Brian Murrell Fri, 8 Apr 2011 14:14:54 +0000 Thu, 9 Feb 2012 08:39:07 +0000 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 18:24:55 +0000 Lustre 2.1.0 0 0 <p>We really should be using the vendor packaging methodology for such a critical piece of the system. Our packages should be drop-in replacements for the vendor packages. If we need to maintain separate .spec files for each platform, then that is probably the lesser evil compared to trying to write some wickedly complex common specfile that sort-of works across the various rhel/sles flavors.</p> <p>Mike, I completely agree, which is why I laid the groundwork for this to happen and even provided an example of how that groundwork can be used by doing the work for one of the SLESes (10 or 11, I don't recall). Unfortunately since then, nobody who has been maintaining e2fsprogs has taken the ball and did the same for our other supported distros.</p> <p>It's too bad at the time I did that work that our itch was SLES and not RHEL or we'd have at least RHEL using vendor building.</p> <p>All of this "not using the vendor spec" is what is leading to <a href="https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-113" title="Dependency issues with RHEL installation - lustre-ldiskfs" class="issue-link" data-issue-key="LU-113"><del>LU-113</del></a> also.</p> <p>I believe this is a duplicate of LU-133. Once we no longer try to build/install the "split" libraries of e2fsprogs (now packaged as part of util-linuxNG) this problem should disappear.</p> <blockquote> <p>I believe this is a duplicate of LU-133</p></blockquote> <p>I can't seem to find an LU-133.</p> Development Rank 1|hzw1fz: Rank (Obsolete) 10315 Severity
