rpmbuild error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found
I am building a custom rpm to install apache, among other things. When i try and build i get the above error, and then it lists /httpd-2.2.17/ and all of its subfiles.
As far as i know, this is the build directory so it shouldn't be packaged. To try and fix this i added rm -rf /httpd-2.2.17 but that doesn't seem to help.
I don't want to add it to the %files section because they shouldn't be installed on the system when we are done.
Does anybody know what i am doing wrong?
Of note is that apache is the second source file, the first one is a tar file that doesn't get compiled
Answer
That sounds like it should not be there..I am not familiar with the Apache build process, but I would check the build flags (what is passed to configure or similar, maybe a prefix has gone awry?).
Or, try adding an:
%exclude %{buildroot}/.../httpd-2.2.7
To the files section as a work around.
And finally, and you probably already did this, check what other RPM-based distributions do, I imagine Apache is not a trivial package..
