Thread: skytools build for 9.5 (EL-6 and EL-7)

skytools build for 9.5 (EL-6 and EL-7)

From
Cédric Villemain
Date:
fix "make rpm" for skytools, previous  path for the README files was not
correct.

It's a very simple patch, can you apply it and build packages please ?

I wonder if all specs files have to be edited one by one, is it welcome
to write a script which will prepare specs files for each EL and F
component instead ?

thank you,

Thanks for the patch, but Skytools has more problems than this, AFAICS. The
latest release (3.2.6) needs some autoconf/autoreconf/autowhatever magic before
it can be compiled, and I could not fix it on Friday. I'll look at it later on.

We have unified spec files for 90% of the stuff that we build. This was the
first step. Craig is working on a solution that will exactly work as you
described. That will be the next step.

rpm were built with the patches, I confess I didn't check further.
I'm not sure RPM have support for testing builds etc ? With debian we
have a buildfarm, is there some continuous integration or Q&A in
yum.postgresql.org too ?

That's strange. I downloaded the src.rpm for skytools, changed the
postgres version in the .spec file (plus the changes from Cédic's patch)
and it compiled without a problem.

Could you expand on what compile errors you were getting?

Here you go:

+ ./configure --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --
program-prefix= --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr
--bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.e7TmxM: line 44: ./configure: No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.e7TmxM (%build)

So, configure is not in the tarball. I even cannot generate it without getting
an error:

$ autoreconf

      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

I didn't tried to reproduce the issue locally but I've used the
resulting packages and they work well.

Did you hit this problem when building package ? What's the command
used? (so I can do the exact same thing and debug)
What source archive did you used ? (link ?)

Thank you,

Hi,

My experience was specifically with a Fedora 22 with PGDG
postgresql-9.5 packages, where all I did was:

* dnf download --source skytools-94
* rpm -ivh skytools-94-3.2-4.f22.src.rpm
* Edit skytools.spec so it compiles against 9.5 instead of 9.4
* Apply patch Cédric sent
* removed the init file which isn't used in systemd distros
* rpmbuild -ba rpmbuild/SPECS/slytools.spec

I really don't know where those errors come from. Maybe it's on RH6
with old autoconf?
