Subject: Re: [Xymon] New spec file (beta test request) (was RE: Xymon 4.3.0 - Build RPMs)
On Fedora 14 I get:
Patch #53 (xymon430.client_uses_sysconfig.patch):
+ /usr/bin/patch -s -p0 -b --suffix .client_uses_sysconfig.patch --fuzz=0
+ /bin/cat /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/xymon430.client_uses_sysconfig.patch
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file client/xymonclient.cfg.DIST.rej
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.bSi2vb (%prep)
With patch 53 commented out in the spec file, it goes a little further, then I get:
Patch #102 (xymon430.pagegen.summariesonnongreen):
+ /usr/bin/patch -s -p0 -b --suffix .pagegen.summariesonnongreen --fuzz=0
+ /bin/cat /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/xymon430.pagegen.summariesonnongreen
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file xymongen/pagegen.c.rej
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.NGwGru (%prep)
Then patch 54 fails:
Patch #54 (xymon430.Makefile-initdvars.patch):
+ /bin/cat /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/xymon430.Makefile-initdvars.patch
+ /usr/bin/patch -s -p0 -b --suffix .initdvars --fuzz=0
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file client/Makefile.rej
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.UH0Ona (%prep)
BTW, I also saw that gcc-c++ is a dependency, but I have previously built xymon-4.3.0 from the source tar without having gcc-c++ installed.
Anyway, with those three patches commented out in the SPEC file, it did at least build, all the way to here:
+ install -d /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/xymon-4.3.0-0.956.fc14.x86_64/etc/rc.d/init.d
+ install -m 755 rpm/xymon-init.d /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/xymon-4.3.0-0.956.fc14.x86_64/etc/rc.d/init.d/xymon
install: cannot stat `rpm/xymon-init.d': No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.vxmhpk (%install)
I guess that's a result of patch54 not being applied. I poke at it some more later.

Thanks for the bug reports. It appears as though recent versions of Fedora have a stricter macro in use when applying %patch'es. Looks like some of those patches were succeeding only due to relaxed fuzziness factors.
Anyway, I've got a new SRPM rebuilding cleanly on clean F14 boxes. Can you try it and let me know if you've got any add'l problems?

I've also posted the .spec file and the two init.d scripts (one for client, one for server) in that directory if anyone else would like to comment!
