BUG: "rpmbuild -ta cogito-0.12.tar.gz" fails

[John Ellson]

"rpmbuild -ta cogito-0.12.tar.gz" fails because cogito.spec.in refers to
".bz2" in its "Source:" line, instead of to ".gz".



This is obviously a trivial patch.  Do I need prior approval to send 
patches to this group?     What is the the significance of 
"Signed-off-by:"     Is there a FAQ I should read?

Just grab the .bz2, or the SRPM http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/RPMS
(still mirroring, I just uploaded it a bit ago)

No approval needed.  Signed-off-by is in reference to the Developer's
Certificate of Origin 1.1 (see item 11 in the Linux kernel's source file
Documentation/SubmittingPatches).

But:
    cd cogito
    cg-update
    make dist
    rpmbuild -ta cogito-0.12.tar.gz

still doesn't work.    Do you have a different process for generating 
the initial cogito-0.12-1src.rpm ?

I start from the bz2 from kernel.org.

So now I have to ask, where does that come from if its not created by 
"make dist" ?

Is what I'm asking to do in the above sequence somehow unreasonable?   
Would it
be any loss if the Source: line in cogito.spec.in refered to the .gz 
instead of the .bz2 such that the
above sequence works for those of us that like to build rpms directly 
from the git tree?

Alternatively, perhaps "make dist" could generate the .bz2 instead?

It's automated by kernel.org mirroring (along with signature
generation).  So .gz is built, uploaded, the rest is automatic.

Yes, I've got a patch for the spec.in, I'll toss that in.

No, because of the way kernel.org mirroring works.

Dear diary, on Wed, Jul 06, 2005 at 08:40:00PM CEST, I got a letter
where John Ellson <ellson@research.att.com> told me that...

(FYI, cogito.spec.in is Chris' sole teritorry in Cogito, so I'll just
put in whatever he tells me to. ;-)
