Re: [Gluster-devel] building rpm off tla

[Matt Paine]

Hi Matthew

A few things about the RPM build.....


rpmbuild takes a spec file, that controls the entire build process.

when you get a tla tree, run ./configure --disable-python, it does not 
change the spec file (IMHO that would ruin the portability of the spec 
file, plus i wouldn't really know how to modify the glusterfs.spec.in to 
reflect configure switches).

What I can do in this case is create a new switch to the rpmbuild 
command to dissable python. It means you would need to run the rpmbuild 
command similar to this....

rpmbuild -ta glusterfs.xxxx.tar.gz --without python


Would this be acceptable?
