Issue with package_rpm : can't install files named "%name..."

Issue with package_rpm : can't install files named "%name..."

Hi all,

I try to cross-compile and install rubygems and the gems contain some
directories and files named "%name...".

To create the rpm package, a spec file that contains the list of all files
and directories that must be in the rpm package is generated in do_package.

The rpm process replace all the "%name" in the spec file by the name of the
package. So the package process try to include some file and directory that
doesn't exist.

How can I resolve this issue ? Is it a bug in package_rpm.bbclass ?

Best regards,

Seb

It is a limitation in package_rpm.bbclass's current behaviour, yes. It 
probably needs to be fixed to escape % at the start of a filename when writing 
out the spec file (assuming that is possible, that is). Could you please file a 
bug for this (at bugzilla.yoctoproject.org)?

Thanks,
Paul
