There are few noticeable for packager differences of this version
|
||||
of the RPM from ALT Linux Team from the version from MandrakeSoft on which
|
||||
this one is based upon:
|
||||
|
||||
Features and incompatibilities:
|
||||
0. Many bug fixes still missing in public release of rpm-4.0.4.
|
||||
1. Advanced and enhanced macros designed to simplify work of packager, including
|
||||
+ add_optflags, remove_optflags, and many others (for easy compilation
|
||||
tuning);
|
||||
+ make_compile, make_install, make (aliases for make in %build and %install
|
||||
sections);
|
||||
+ install_info, uninstall_info (advanced variants of _install_info and
|
||||
_remove_install_info from MDK for work with info pages);
|
||||
+ various macros aliasing well-known directories;
|
||||
2. Automatic lookup for dependencies in shell scripts (use "Autoreq: no" to
|
||||
disable).
|
||||
3. By default, info and man pages are compressed with either "gzip -9n" or
|
||||
"bzip2 -9", depending on result size; it means that numerous ".bz2"s in
|
||||
%files section should be replaced with "*"; same changes should be done in
|
||||
other sections of spec file.
|
||||
This behavior of rpm is handled by %_compress_method macro; currently defined
|
||||
methods are:
|
||||
+ auto: compression as described above;
|
||||
+ bzip2: compression with "bzip2 -9" program;
|
||||
+ gzip: compression with "gzip -9n" program;
|
||||
+ none: all pages will be uncompressed;
|
||||
+ skip: just skip this phase, do not (un)compress at all, only check links.
|
||||
4. At the post-install stage, ELF binaries are stripped, depending on file type.
|
||||
This behavior of rpm is handled by %_strip_method macro which is set of
|
||||
recognizable ELF file types:
|
||||
+ executable (ELF executable);
|
||||
+ relocatable (ELF relocatable);
|
||||
+ shared (ELF shared object);
|
||||
+ static (current ar archive);
|
||||
+ no, none, off, false - designates no stripping at all.
|
||||
Value of %_strip_method macro can be set by %set_strip_method macro or
|
||||
defined directly.
|
||||
By default, only ELF executables and ELF shared objects will be stripped.
|
||||
Also, there are 4 macros designed for manual stripping from .spec file:
|
||||
%strip_executable, %strip_relocatable, %strip_shared, %strip_static.
|
||||
Syntax of these macros described in '/usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip --help'.
|
||||
5. At the post-install stage, RPM performs lookup for dependencies.
|
||||
This behavior of rpm is handled by standard tags: AutoReq, AutoProv,
|
||||
AutoReqProv. Unlike original yes/no rule, these tags now define set of
|
||||
methods to be used for lookup. Currently, following methods are recognized:
|
||||
+ files - enable lookup for external files dependencies;
|
||||
+ nofiles - disable lookup for external files dependencies;
|
||||
+ lib - enable lookup for shared library dependencies;
|
||||
+ nolib - disable lookup for shared library dependencies;
|
||||
+ pam - enable lookup for pam dependencies;
|
||||
+ nopam - disable lookup for pam dependencies;
|
||||
+ perl - enable lookup for dependencies found in perl scripts;
|
||||
+ noperl - disable lookup for dependencies found in perl scripts;
|
||||
+ shell - enable lookup for dependencies found in Bourne shell scripts;
|
||||
+ noshell - disable lookup for dependencies found in Bourne shell scripts;
|
||||
+ default, yes, true - enable lookup using default methods (see rcfiles for details).
|
||||
+ all - enable lookup using all known methods (files, lib, pam, perl, shell).
|
||||
+ no, none, off, false - disable lookup;
|
||||
By default, both AutoReq and AutoProv defined to "yes" - it means that
|
||||
values of %_findreq_default_method and %_findprov_default_method macros will
|
||||
be used to define lookup methods.
|
||||
In addition, macro _perl_lib_path can be defined to customize
|
||||
RPM_PERL_LIB_PATH variable used to find perl provides/requires.
|
||||
6. At the post-install stage, RPM performs recompilation of python modules
|
||||
if found in BuildRoot, using value of __python macro as python compiler.
|
||||
By default, it's equal to /usr/bin/python; to bypass the procedure, just
|
||||
undefine this macro.
|
||||
Rationale: if not compiled properly, compiled python modules will be useless
|
||||
after package installation.
|
||||
7. BuildRoot now defined in /usr/lib/rpm/macros; that is, BuildRoot tag
|
||||
defined in specfile will have no effect and may be omitted. More even,
|
||||
building packages without proper defined BuildRoot is impossible.
|
||||
%buildroot macro can be redefined in any rcfile.
|
||||
8. Before executing %install and after executing %clean sections, BuildRoot will
|
||||
be automatically purged; that is, you don't need to specify this pesky
|
||||
"rpm -rf" any more. Note, however, that any activity in BuildRoot before
|
||||
%install section will be lost.
|
||||
If you need to keep BuildRoot before %install section, you should use
|
||||
%buildmulti macro instead of %build. In this case, BuildRoot will be purged
|
||||
right before %build section.
|
||||
9. Default %defattr value in all %files sections is %{_defattr}.
|
||||
This macro have been defined to %defattr(-,root,root,755) by default.
|
||||
That is, most of %defattr entries in spec file may be omitted.
|
||||
10.POPT library now distributed in separate package; also, files required only
|
||||
for packaging have been moved to rpm-build subpackage.
|
||||
11.By default, rpm now blocks if package database lock cannot be obtained.
|
||||
This wait-for-lock behavior can be disabled with --nowait-lock option.
|
||||
12.By default, root no longer allowed to build packages. This behavior can be
|
||||
changed by _allow_root_build macro.
