Hi packaging gurus,
I am regularly rebuilding current Factory packages for ancient SLES releases (SLES15, SLES12-SP1...4, sometimes even SLES11). Many current spec files have gotten deprived of their %defattr(...) lines, which causes warnings like these:
[ 25s] python-wheel.src:102: W: files-attr-not-set [ 25s] python-wheel.src:103: W: files-attr-not-set [ 25s] python-wheel.src:104: W: files-attr-not-set [ 25s] python-wheel.src:105: W: files-attr-not-set [ 25s] python-wheel.src:106: W: files-attr-not-set [ 25s] A file or a directory entry in a %files section does not have attributes set [ 25s] which may result in unexpected file permissions and thus security issues in [ 25s] the resulting binary package depending on the build environment and rpmbuild [ 25s] version (typically < 4.4). Add default attributes using %defattr before it in [ 25s] the %files section, or use per entry %attr's.
Even SLES11-SP4 has rpm version 4.4.2.3, so maybe this can just be ignored.
Or is there some prjconf or rpm macro magic that lets me automatically insert %defattr lines after every %file line?
In Fedora EPEL, we've used several tricks to "backport" newer capabilities to older RHEL releases so that the delta is minimized between RHEL and Fedora. There are limits, but we've been moderately successful. EL5 corresponds to SLE 11, so some of it may help here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/epel-rpm-macros/tree/el5 As for the rpmlint policy, you can override this by forking the policy package shipped in SLE 11 and updating the rules for your SLE 11 build environments. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
