Doing a 'make rpm' with any linux-2.6 (or probably, even linux-2.4 kernel) will fail with the current RH/Fedora RPM macros.

The failure message is this:

Processing files: kernel-debuginfo-2.6.3rc1mm1-12
error: Could not open %files file /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.3rc1mm1/debugfiles.list: No such file or directory


RPM build errors:
    Could not open %files file /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.3rc1mm1/debugfiles.list: No such file or directory
make: *** [rpm] Error 1


The fix is this patch:

Why do you want to disable the missing file check? As opposed to 
providing the file?

I personally fix ther problem instead of disabling the check, the list 
can be empty, of course.

There is four options to fix this problem.

1) Change the RH9/Fedora macros.
2) Add a global entry into my .rpmmacros
3) Find and create the missing file (empty, in this case) (ie, do a 'touch /usr/src/linux-2.6.3/debugfiles.list' and it will proceed without making the debugfile RPM.)
4) Disable it in the specfile, since only RH9/Fedora does this, and Mandrake/SuSE probably doesn't.

I'm not going to do #1, and I'm not going to do #2, I'll settle for #3 or #4, but #3 now means another file to ship around or create, even if it's empty.

This simply gets it working again.

There is enough files that needs to be cleaned up after a build, no reason to
add more of them.

Since this is a fedora/RH9 issue go for option #4. If we need this file in the
future we will add it.
Please forward the original patch to Andrew for inclusion.

Andrew; Sam asked me to forward this to you for inclusion into the next 2.6 kernel.

thanks!

Am I missing something? Won't this completely break the creation of the 
debug rpm?
