[Buildbot-devel] 0.7.10p1 setup command bdist_rpm broken

[Dustin J. Mitchell]

(Adding Gary)

Gary, can you take a look at this?  I've created a corresponding bug:
  http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/544

Darragh, I think the immediate solution is to exclude those files from
your release, perhaps just by deleting them.

I was finding that building an rpm from the 0.7.10p1 release using the
setup.py tools kept failing.

Using a RHEL4 Update 4 virtualized environment
no it is not fully patched, and no I can't patch it either, it needs
to stay at exactly the same as release of update 4.


# python setup.py bdist_rpm

I've done some digging around and found that these files were
suffering from syntax errors when using python 2.3. The code may be
perfectly fine for later versions of python, I haven't checked.
Changes that I made to allow an rpm to be built are in the patch
attached.


Btw, there still appears to be a problem with it using
/usr/lib/python2.3 on x86_64 systems instead of /usr/lib64/python2.3,
I have a custom spec file that I use with the release tarball that
works around this issue by specifying the following:
%build
python%{?py_ver:%{py_ver}} setup.py build

%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
python%{?py_ver:%{py_ver}} setup.py install --root=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT
--record=INSTALLED_FILES
--install-lib=%{_libdir}/python%{?py_ver:%{py_ver}}/site-packages

I can't recall exactly what error I would encounter without this fix,
but I believe there were problems with importing the correct files
from twisted and other packages unless the buildbot files are
installed under the correct prefix.
