Hello folks,
My usual approach to testing git snapshots of Linus's tree (with custom
patches applied on top) is to make rpm and install this into my system for a
clean add/remove of test kernels.
However, the developers of rpm removed the --target and -ta options, so I
can't take tarball and build into RPM anymore.
Since I last built custom RPM builds of Linus's tree was likely Fedora 18, it
seems the option target got removed by 19.
Any ideas, fixes?
Thanks,
Shawn

Sorry for noise, I was missing rpm-build. That said, here's a patch to force check for rpm-build as any modern RPM distribution should be be using a newer rpm release.
Thanks,
Shawn

As a temporary work around, can you revert to the older version of RPM?

Hi Chris,
I was missing rpm-build, I have a patch submitted to force use of rpm-build.
AFAIK, nobody uses legacy rpm anymore since falling back to just rpm will fail
since it does not have --target or -ta options.
Thanks,
Shawn
