What is the easiest way I can (re)build rpm packages as normal user on openSUSE 10.3? Thanks! -- Igor Jagec

Install the srpm .. modify the spec at /usr/src/packages/SPECS/.. Then see man rpmbuild .. or other documentation. But that is off topic here. This is not the support list, this is the dev release-list. Join opensuse@opensuse.org or use other support options (irc, fora etc.).. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I know how to (re)build a rpm package as root user, but I don't know how to build it as normal user. I don't think that rpmbuild(8) can provide me that information, but thanks anyway. There is a utility fakeroot, but I haven't find it on openSUSE repos.

Ok, I'll see some other support options, thanks. -- Igor Jagec

I know how to (re)build a rpm package as root user, but I don't know how to build it as normal user.
Did you try it? Only a very few openSUSE packages need to be built as root, most of the packages build as user just fine.

Not before I've made mess on my system with Fedora's script for creating build directory :) But I edited my ~/.rpmmacros and everything seems to work fine.

I didn't know that, thanks. I'll try that with clean install of openSUSE when it becomes stable. Cheers! -- Igor Jagec

Thanks!
Rebuild or build ? Rebuilding should be a matter of just running rpmbuild --rebuild against the src.rpm package. Building is a science, in my opinion. If you would like to build a rpm from a source release, which uses the "./configure;make;make install" approach, and does not include a .spec file, checkinstall makes the process easy. That is, use "./configure;make;checkinstall" instead. As a normal user, you might want to add the --pakdir argument to point to a path where this user have write permission, instead of the default /usr/src/packages/RPMS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Both.

Yes, it indeed is :)

I didn't know for the --pakdir option, thanks. But I solved the problem. I've run the rpmdev-setuptree srcipt from Fedora's rpmdev-tools package (see the attach) and the script has created build directory and ~/.rpmmacros file. And here's how it looks like: ------------ begin ------------ %_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild %_smp_mflags -j3 #% __arch_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot %_tmppath /home/igor/rpmbuild/tmp %_buildroot /home/igor/rpmbuild %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch} #% __arch_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot --------- end ------------------ I've just commented out 2 lines and that was it. Thanks for the answer anyway. Cheers! -- Igor Jagec
