--------------------------

if i look in daemonsas-1.2-root dir i've etc,sbin dir
but in etc, sbin directories has a sub dir as daemonsas-1.2?
why such character is added with the dir?

if i add the '?' character in the files section such as

%files
%defattr(-,root,root)
/usr/sbin/daemonsas-1.2?/daemonsas
/etc/daemonsas-1.2?/daemonsas
/etc/init.d/daemonsas-1.2?/daemond

the error as "RPM build errors: file must begin with /"

Please help me out how to resolve it..



Thanks in advance,

regards,

Remove this crap from the spec file

# This is the spec file for daemonsas
%define _topdir /usr/local/up/rpm


%define buildroot %{_topdir}/%{name}-%{version}-root
BuildRoot:%{_topdir}


Replace the buildroot bit with

BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)

Hi,

I resolved the rpm build error, it's becoz of i've transfered files from windows desktop to redhat using winscp ...
i've used the following code

:set fileformat=unix
:wq


But now problem in installing the rpm :rolleyes:
When i install the rpm i'm getting the following error


[root@localhost i686]# rpm -ivh daemonsas-1.2-1.i686.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:daemonsas ########################################### [100%]
error reading information on service daemond: No such file or directory
error: %post(daemonsas-1.2-1.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 1





Here is my System V init script (daemond)

#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 235 91 30
# processname:daemond
# pidfile: /var/run/daemond.pid
# config /etc/daemonsas-1.2/daemonsas.conf
#source function library
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

RET=0
daemonsas="/usr/sbin/daemonsas-1.2/daemonsas"
lockfile="/var/run/subsys/daemonsas"

case "$1" in
start)
echo "***starting the service***"
if [ -f $daemonsas ] ; then
daemon $daemonsas
RET=$?
echo
[ $RET = 0 ] && touch ${lockfile}
fi
;;
stop)
echo "***stoping the service***"
killproc -d 10 $daemonsas
RET=$?
echo
[ $RET -eq 0 ] && rm -f ${lockfile}
;;
status)
echo "***status the service***"
status daemond
RET=$?
;;
restart)
echo "***restarting the service***"
$0 stop
sleep 3
$0 start
;;
reload)
echo "***Reloading the service***"
killproc $daemonsas -HUP
;;
*)
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"
exit 1
esac
exit $RET


Please help me out...

Thanks in advance..
