Hi, I am trying to create my first RPM and have a bit problems understanding the setup of the build environment as described in the build tutorial: http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Build_Tutorial#Configuration I read the explanation about how to use the y2pmbuild tool and it talks about that the y2pmbuild tool will setup up the build environment at a given place. I looked in the file: /etc/y2pmbuild/dists_common and it sets: add_sources="suse" url_suse="file:/srv/ftp/pub/suse/$BUILD_DIST/CD1/"

From the description in the build tutorial it sounded like y2pmbuild will somehow copy the necessary files of a distribution there, but when I call y2pmbuild with my spec file, it looks like it is expecting the distribution already being there.

My question is now what I need to copy there. As the path information has the $BUILD_DIST option, it sounds like only the respective distribution needs to be copied there. So if I build for x86_64, can I just copy the whole content from the x86_64 folder of my suse 10.1 DVD into the 10.1-x86_64/CD1 folder? Thanks for any help.
