Description: ------------ See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185321 I think the template.spec use by "makerpm" could be improve in somme ways. I know PEAR_Command_Packaging is on the road but "makerpm" still usefull, at least to make the rpm of PEAR_Command_Packaging ;) I see a lot of bugs with the comment "fixed in CVS" but i don't see any change in pear-1.4.8. Some improvement : 1. don't remove the .xml (it's owned by the RPM) 2. use "pear config-get php_dir" 3. use "--nodeps --soft --force --register-only" on install / upgrade (because upgrading a RPM could keep the same package version) 4. use "-ignore-errors --register-only" on uninstall 5. remove .channels, .depdb, .depdblock during %install 6. don't own / but %{peardir}/* and @rpm_xml_dir@/@package@.xml instead. Next is the patch I use on FC4 to build the RPM of php-pear-1.4.8 (some changes are already include in the official RPM in Fedora "rawhide"). I think it can apply on all distro and could be include upstream. Hope that help a little.

We are not going to make any more fixes to the old "makerpm" code in PEAR. Although PEAR_Command_Packaging is marked as alpha, it is a direct fork of the "makerpm" code and is therefore no less stable than it. Please use PEAR_Command_Packaging. If there are any bugs in that please file as appropriate. The specific bug with ownership of / has been fixed in CVS (for PEAR_Command_Packaging) just now, so thanks for that fix. (It may be fixed more comprehensively at some point by fulling enumerating all the expected owned files)
