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.

The easiest way to package a perl module is to use cpanspec - either install it on your system or use the cpanspec service in the buildservice. And before doing anything, check if the package already exists in devel:languages:perl ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz --

Try these links: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/ it gives a good basic rundown on the common parts of the spec file and also gives all the interesting things you can do with %setup. http://www.rpm.org/ here you get all the rest of the documentation and there's even reasonable info on macros but you have to browse for it.
