disable debuginfo

[FunkyRes]

Package consisting of text files that ARE platform dependent and therefore can NOT go into a noarch package.

How the smurf do I stop the debuginfo package from being created?

At the top of the spec file I've tried:

%define _enable_debug_packages %{nil}
%define __debug_package %{nil}
%define debug_package %{nil}

but it keeps building a completely worthless debug package.
I'm fairly sure one of those three did it back in fc2 days.
I know if I edit /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc and remove /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros from the macro path debuginfo packages are not built - so it is something in that macro file, I just can't figure out what the bleep shuts it off for a single package build.

I think this line should be sufficient

%define debug_package %{nil}

put it in the %build section of the spec file.

How did you set up your build environment?

eg

sudo yum install rpmdevtools yum-utils
rpmdev-setuptree
cd ~/rpmbuild
yumdownloader --source grub
rpm -ihv grub*.src.rpm
vi SPECS/grub.spec  (add debug_package line to %build section)
rpmbuild -ba SPECS/grub.spec

This will create the grub rpm in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386, and will not build a debuginfo package

(for grub build you need 'yum install ncurses-static gnu-efi)

I had a typo - that's all.
It's fixed now.

My build environment is actually an LFS that I am RPM bootstrapping (using the fedora redhat-config package as it really does have some nicer that stock macros in it)
