Engineer Engelbert, a fierce OpenSuSE 11-sp4 user, is in possession of two RPM packages with the same contents:
rpm -qlp ~/onemy_ls_0.0.1_x86_64.rpm | tee a
/.osc/_apiurl
/.osc/_files
/.osc/_meta
/.osc/_osclib_version
/.osc/_package
/.osc/_project
/my_ls/my_ls.sh
rpm -qlp ~/my_ls_0.0.1_x86_64.rpm | tee b
/.osc/_apiurl
/.osc/_files
/.osc/_meta
/.osc/_osclib_version
/.osc/_package
/.osc/_project
/my_ls/my_ls.sh
diff a b | wc
0 0 0
Engineer Engelbert has realized that he can install both packages with no warning from RPM:
rpm -e my_ls-0.0.1-1 ; rpm -i ~/my_ls_0.0.1_x86_64.rpm
rpm -e onemy_ls-0.0.1-1 ; rpm -i ~/onemy_ls_0.0.1_x86_64.rpm
Engineer Engelbert is self-assured about his choices. He knows that's probably a good design choice from rpm developers. So, he checked the man page, certain that there would be an option for not allowing rpm packages to overwrite files in the system. But all the install options he found were:
install-options
[--aid] [--allfiles] [--badreloc] [--excludepath OLDPATH]
[--excludedocs] [--force] [-h,--hash]
[--ignoresize] [--ignorearch] [--ignoreos]
[--includedocs] [--justdb] [--nodeps]
[--nodigest] [--nosignature] [--nosuggest]
[--noorder] [--noscripts] [--notriggers]
[--oldpackage] [--percent] [--prefix NEWPATH]
[--relocate OLDPATH=NEWPATH]
[--repackage] [--replacefiles] [--replacepkgs]
[--test]
He hesitated and found strange that there is --replacefiles, but not --keepfiles. That suggested him that keep would be the default behavior. So, he created an script:
rpm -e onemy_ls-0.0.1-1
rpm -e my_ls-0.0.1-1
rm -rf /my_ls/
rpm -i ~/my_ls_0.0.1_x86_64.rpm
ls -lh /my_ls -d
sleep 120
rpm -i ~/onemy_ls_0.0.1_x86_64.rpm
ls -lh /my_ls -d
That showed that the files were actually overwritten:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 16 17:07 /my_ls
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 16 17:09 /my_ls
After a research, Engineer Engelbert couldn't still find the answer.Now he is in the middle of a flamewar about packaging systems, and, as asked by somebody, he needs your help:
How to make rpm not to overwrite files when installing new packages?
Note - Engineer Engelbert knows that he should create better rpm packages with conflicts management, you don't need to explain him that. He is mostly worried about being sure that his packages won't conflict with other proprietary unpublished packages racing for the same paths in the system.
Note - using fpm, you can regenerate Engineer Engelbert's RPMs:
mkdir -p first_pkg/my_ls/
echo ls > first_pkg/my_ls/my_ls.sh
fpm -s dir -t rpm -n onemy_ls -v 0.0.1 -C first_pkg/ -p onemy_ls_VERSION_ARCH.rpm
fpm -s dir -t rpm -n my_ls -v 0.0.1 -C first_pkg/ -p my_ls_VERSION_ARCH.rpm
Yes: rpm will overwrite all files contained in a *.rpm that are not marked with %config and there is no option to disable that behavior.

I have installed a sample daemon "abcd.service" like above but on target, I see this listed as root. If I check "ps -ax | grep abcd" then it shows root which I don't want.
Any idea how can I change that to non-root?
Edit the systemd unit file to use the User= or DynamicUser= directive: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html?_sm_au_=iVVHkLwvwFJL8SMPL321jK0f1JH33#User=. The DynamicUser directive might be easier because you won't have to figure out how to create a new user in Yocto (maybe it's actually easy but I don't know how to do it off the top of my head).

To integrate gstreamer and pocketsphinx, I need three .pc files as the offical website says:
gstreamer-1.0.pc
gstreamer-base-1.0.pc
gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0.pc
I start a new empty ubuntu 18.
install the gstreamer through
$ sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev
But only two of the three important .pc files exist after the previous command.
If I cd to /usr/ and run :
sudo find . -print | grep -i 'gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0'
the terminal returns empty( not found).
At the same time,
sudo find . -print | grep -i 'gstreamer-base-1.0'
and
sudo find . -print | grep -i 'gstreamer-1.0'
will give me correct paths.
Where is the missing gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0.pc file? Thank you.
If there are only two but not three of the .pc files, the configuration of pocketsphinx will not work.
**sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev**
helped me generate the missing gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0.pc file.
Those two are needed.
I'm just learning making rpm packages for some custom builds of software that gets compiled from source (some legacy stuff needs this, so I'm trying to learn, as some packages can't use the latest versions), but hitting an error (I'm doing this in Vagrant, and also as root, but typically I'm trying not to use root as I'm aware it has potential for damage, its just this example seems to need some root changes).
sudo rpmbuild -ba testspec.spec --define "_topdir /tmp/"
So far it looks to be using the directory I expected, /tmp/rpmbuild
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/rpmbuild/BUILD/exim-4.80.1/build-Linux-x86_64/pdkim'
make[2]: `pdkim.a' is up to date.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/rpmbu
But then I see these errors...
/usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress: line 8: cd: /tmp/BUILDROOT/custom-exim-4.80.1-1.x86_64: No such file or directory
+ /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip
find: `/tmp/BUILDROOT/custom-exim-4.80.1-1.x86_64': No such file or directory

find: `/tmp/BUILDROOT/custom-exim-4.80.1-1.x86_64': No such file or directory

So it now seems to be looking in /tmp/BUILDROOT

Why is it using /tmp/BUILDROOT literally, instead of /tmp/rpmbuild, and are there other obvious things I'm doing wrong ? I've looked at a lot of other tutorials on rpmbuild, but aren't very clear on best practices or what happens during each phase.
Since the buildroot parm is not passed to rpmbuild, the default path is being used by your spec file:
BuildRoot: %{buildroot}
Try adding the buildroot parm... Add buildroot /tmp/rpmbuild to --define
Or if using a makefile:
BUILD_TMP=/tmp/rpmbuild
TOP_DIR=/tmp
rpmbuild -bb
--buildroot $(BUILD_TMP)
--topdir $(TOP_DIR)
$(SPEC_DIR)/testspec.spec
In my case rpm-build was missing.
So sudo yum install rpm-build solved the problem. Or if you use puppet:
package { 'rpm-build':
ensure => latest,
}
I am working on making an rpm for a small program used within our enterprise. The %build section of the rpm process works. I'm having trouble with the install section. I've referenced this article response and I believe I am properly referring to the target location with respect to %{_buildroot}.
The program I'm making is to be installed as a system service. So, after the rpm actually is generated for this step, I've got to add the next step in my installation process which is to include the script that is installed to the init.d location and run that install. One step at a time though.
The build errors are as follows (omitting everything but %install):
Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.eUDaCK
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/packager/rpmbuild/BUILD

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.eUDaCK (%install)
Now, my rpmbuild directory does not have the directory /home/packager/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/o2arbitord-1.0-1.el6.x86_64/usr/sbin. While I know that's part of the problem, the rpmbuild process isn't making the directory /home/packager/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/o2arbitord-1.0-1.el6.x86_64 either. What I don't understand about that one is: why? Looking at the script output above you can clearly see the line: mkdir /home/packager/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/o2arbitord-1.0-1.el6.x86_64. So, why isn't the directory made?
How does the line BuildRoot: %(mktemp -ud %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-XXXXXX) from whatever the definition of %{_buildroot} is? I thought that was the definition, but it appears to be something different.

You are attempting to install a file into a directory that doesn't exist (yet).
RPM only creates the %{buildroot} for you automatically. Anything under that you need to create yourself.
So when you run
install -m 555 %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/%{name} %{buildroot}%{_sbindir}
where %{buildroot}%{_sbindir} expands to /home/packager/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/o2arbitord-1.0-1.el6.x86_64/usr/sbin RPM has only created /home/packager/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/o2arbitord-1.0-1.el6.x86_64 for you already.
You need to create the /usr/sbin part of that path and then copy the file into it.
You can do that with either
%{__mkdir_p} '%{buildroot}%{_sbindir}'
or
%{__install} -d '%{buildroot}%{_sbindir}'
Where
$ rpm -E '__mkdir_p = %{__mkdir_p}'
__mkdir_p = /bin/mkdir -p
$ rpm -E '__install = %{__install}'
__install = /usr/bin/install
I went through fair amount of google search to install ack-grep on CentOS but I didn't find anything help. I also looked for the source codes but couldn't find it neither. Does anyone know how to install it on the OS?
Thanks a lot.
Could be essentially the same as https://stackoverflow.com/a/23155007/35946 but on CentOS 6.7 the answer is:
# yum install epel-release
# yum install ack
if you don't have the root permission, you can do as follows:
$ curl https://beyondgrep.com/ack-2.22-single-file > ~/bin/ack && chmod 0755 !#:3
or you can change to root user:
$ sudo su
# curl https://beyondgrep.com/ack-2.22-single-file > /bin/ack && chmod 0755 !#:3
You can get it from the EPEL software repository.
From the EPEL FAQ:
For EL5:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm'
...
su -c 'yum install ack'
For EL6:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm'
...
su -c 'yum install ack'
Go to Beyond Grep and look at the section titled
Install The ack executeable
curl http://beyondgrep.com/ack-2.14-single-file > ~/bin/ack && chmod 0755 !#:3
And replace ack.2.14 with the current version of ack.
You may need to create the directory mkdir ~/bin/ first. You may
also need to modify ~/.bashrc to include this new path E.G.:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
Then reload ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Test the installation by running ack:
rpm -qa | ack s
This should display any installed packages containing the letter s. (some linux distributions may use ack-grep as the command.
How did you try installing it? Are you using yum? The package is probably not called "ack-grep", but just "ack".
The name "ack-grep" is a Debian-specific thing because there was already a package called "ack", so they called it "ack-grep" instead. That was years ago and now they're dropping the original "ack" package and renaming "ack-grep" to "ack".
For RedHat Enterprise just do sudo yum install ack
