All,

I'm trying to package log2timeline and I'm pulling the *.tgz via a service pull.

When the tgz file is expanded in %prep, it creates .../log2timeline.

But the %prep section automatically does a "cd log2timeline-0.51" before I can have any control.

try this:

%setup -q -n %{name}

instead of the default which should be: %setup -q.

NM

...

How can I rename the extracted directory or cause the cd to go into log2timeline?

fyi: I'm going to need to package some prereq perl modules for this to work, so if you can point me at a good example of a perl module spec file, that would be great too.
