The freeipmi RPM package available for CentOS 7 via EPEL is quite outdated
(1.5.7). So I wanted to build my own RPM package of freeipmi 1.6.11 from
the source tar-ball.
I unpacked the source tar-ball on a CentOS 7.9 machine and ran
./configure, then created a new tar-ball from this. Then I build the package:
$ rpmbuild -ta freeipmi-1.6.11.tar.gz
Unfortunately, the build fails with the following lines showing a missing
or misplaced bmc-watchdog file:
+ mkdir -p
/home/niflheim/ohni/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/freeipmi-1.6.11-1.el7.x86_64//etc/rc.d/init.d/
+ [[ /etc/init.d != \/\e\t\c\/\r\c\.\d\/\i\n\i\t\.\d ]]
+ mv
/home/niflheim/ohni/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/freeipmi-1.6.11-1.el7.x86_64//etc/init.d/bmc-watchdog
/home/niflheim/ohni/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/freeipmi-1.6.11-1.el7.x86_64//etc/rc.d/init.d/bmc-watchdog
mv: cannot stat
'/home/niflheim/ohni/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/freeipmi-1.6.11-1.el7.x86_64//etc/init.d/bmc-watchdog':

Question: How can we fix this error?
Actually, the Fedora source RPM from
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/freeipmi can be rebuilt correctly.
Maybe some Fedora patches could be back-ported to FreeIPMI?
Thanks,
Ole
