fix make rpm
RFC PATCH 1/1 fix make rpm
Hi,
This patch fix "make rpm".
When I used the rpm option, I got some error.
So I fixed it, but it is a just sample?
What do you think about it?

This patch fix "make rpm".
When I used the rpm option, I got some error.
So I fixed it, but it is a just sample?
'make rpm' works for me on F7 (after I fixed fallout from the libkvm separation patch). What distribution did you run it on? What error did you get?
I think we can't treat it as more than a sample because we can't expect it to work everywhere (e.g. debian). But i will accept patches to improve it.

Why is this change necessary? Doesn't '/usr/kvm' work? This way, every time qemu adds a file we have to update the rpm spec.

Exactly, I think better writing these, but actually these are not needed. So when qemu is updated, we need to update these as you said. I'll put back them because it's messy.

Ah, SOURCES only exists in the distributed package, not in the git tree. That's why I never got an error. It's probably best to push all the rpm build directories under a new subdirectory rpm/.

This can be fixed by updating the check on line 18 to include RHEL. We do need the BuildRequires below...

FYI, I got burned by exactly this problem once. Due to a missing prereq, a package build didn't produce all the output it should have. However, because I hadn't listed every output explicitly, rpm happily packaged everything else, and the package shipped in a distro before anybody realized anything was missing.

Yeah, perhaps the script should have a "dangerous" label. Or all rpm scripts.
Listing the files doesn't actually solve the problem. How does a packager know if a file was removed intenrionally or accidentally?

When the package won't build due to a missing file, that draws attention, and so the packager investigates (and sees for example that the file in question is no longer listed in any Makefiles).
