RPM build failure

here is output complaining missed files, and no suffixed dev related files there. not sure why?

here was the evn.

[root@henry-ip6-dev ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release

The spec file that's included in the e2fsprogs sources is terribly obsolete. Sorry about that. I package e2fsprogs for Debian, so the Debian packaging is very up to date. Unfortunately, the approach which Red Hat and SuSE use have diverged over time, and providing an updated spec file that would work well for Fedora, RHEL, Open SuSE, and SLES, is extremely challenging. The Lustre folks have found a way to do this, but it's kinda of ugly, and it wasn't something I wanted to pull into the e2fsprogs upstream. You can see that in their fork of e2fsprogs:

https://git.whamcloud.com/tools/e2fsprogs.git
git://git.whamcloud.com/tools/e2fsprogs.git

Anyway, at some point it might be nice to get a good, clean support for building RPM packages for the RPM distros, but that's not super-high-priority for me, especially since Red Hat, Fedora, SuSE, etc. have their own (incompatible) spec files.

[zhoudayongdennis]

thanks for the response!

tried but can not access the git repo (git://git.whamcloud.com/tools/e2fsprogs.git) here. Was it still accessable?

$ ping git.whamcloud.com

"git clone" works for me:

% git clone git://git.whamcloud.com/tools/e2fsprogs.git /tmp/e2fsprogs
Cloning into '/tmp/e2fsprogs'...

Pinging git.whamcloud.com doesn't work for me either.

Edit: If "git clone" doesn't work for you, perhaps that could be due to some kind of firewall issue? It could be that the git protocol is a port blocked by some firewall, or maybe the firewall has blacklisted git.whamcloud.com for some reason?

[zhoudayongdennis]

is there possible to put it into github for short usage for me?

https://git.whamcloud.com/tools/e2fsprogs.git
git://git.whamcloud.com/tools/e2fsprogs.git

i could clone it from github without any issue here.

[zhoudayongdennis]

i could git clone from github, and compare the change history between github and git.whamcloud, both are the same for master.

was there the specific branch for so-called ugly change in git://git.whamcloud.com/tools/e2fsprogs.git?

Hi,
I'm trying to build a RPM for a newer version 1.47.0, but I seem to be running into this same issue on AlmaLinux 8 (RHEL 8)

When I run make rpm I run into this error, as these files do not exist,

RPM build errors:
    line 14: prereq is deprecated: Prereq: /sbin/ldconfig
    line 39: prereq is deprecated: Prereq: /sbin/install-info

when I comment out these lines I run into another error,
