Hi,
This is a bit of an edge case probably, but trying to build the full
pcp version, ie non-containerized builds, with ./Makepkgs from inside
the official centos7 docker container fails currently.
Everything seems to build fine, but the actual rpm packaging fails
saying that it can't find the man pages. It turns out that the packing
portion of rpmbuild is looking for non-gzipped man pages while gzipped
man pages are actually created.
The scenario seems to be as follows:
1. The centos docker images explicitly disable man page installation
with "tsflags=nodocs" in yum.conf. So no man pages exist in the container
2. The configure check for gzipped man pages fails since there are none
at all:
######
for d in /usr/man /usr/share/man $pcp_man_dir
do
for sd in man1 sman1
do
if test -f $d/$sd/man.1.gz
then
have_gzipped_manpages=true
######
3. Therefore, pcp.spec thinks that it should compile a list of
non-gzipped manpages
4. gzipped man pages get built somehow anyway, I assume maybe from
brp_compress. I'm a little fuzzy on how this is supposed to work.
5. 3&4 don't match and the build fails.
I can fix my build by doing:
yum --setopt tsflags='' reinstall man
followed by ./Makepkgs
Then everything works since man.1.gz exists, but I'm not sure if this is
worth fixing in the build itself. Just wanted to document this in case
anyone else hits it.
