[Python-Dev] Python 3.4 RPM on AIX
hi I am having problem building Python RPM on AIX and I think there are several bugs in Python .spec files. README file says download the bz2 version, but only gziped and xz version available from Python website so had to convert the .tgz file to bz2 and copy it over to SOURCES directory. %define config_binsuffix was set to 2.6 and not sure why it should be 2.6 when I am working on 3.4 version. had to change it to to pass the error. %define config_binsuffix none Misc/cheatsheet seems to be decommissioned in new version of Python but still in spec file so commented it. The last error that I am receiving and can't figure the resolution is belowwhy it won't create the required direcotory ?Processing files: python-devel-3.4.2-AIX71 File not found by glob: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/include/python3.4/*.h File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/lib/python3.4/config PreReq: rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 python = 3.4.2 Processing files: python-tools-3.4.2-AIX71 File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/bin/pydoc File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/bin/smtpd.py PreReq: rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 python = 3.4.2-AIX71 running rpm -bl option to see missing files are below: rpm -bl /opt/freeware/src/packages/SPECS/python-3.4.spec Processing files: python-3.4.2-AIX71 File not found by glob: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/opt/freeware/man/man1/python.1* File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/include/python3.4 Processing files: python-devel-3.4.2-AIX71 File not found by glob: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/include/python3.4/*.h File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/lib/python3.4/config PreReq: rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 python = 3.4.2 Processing files: python-tools-3.4.2-AIX71 File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/bin/pydoc File not found: /var/opt/freeware/tmp/python-3.4.2-root/usr/bin/smtpd.py PreReq: rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 python = 3.4.2-AIX71 Any idea as how I can fix this ? ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
Re: [Python-Dev] Python 3.4 RPM on AIX
I am using the spec file that comes with Python source code which downloaded from python.org website source file is set on spec file to file with bz2 format while there is only .xz and zipped are available to download. I thought somehow some one from development team has wrote that .spec fileand maybe supporting it. This is like no support. From: Stephen J.

This list is for development *of* Python, not development *with* Python. In this case, you would probably be better off with an AIX list devoted to packaging, an RPM-specific list, or failing those two, a Red Hat/Fedora list on packaging. All of the issues you list are related to generic distro packaging issues, and not to Python itself. ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
Re: [Python-Dev] Python 3.4 RPM on AIX
Hi Zach, I think it is best to remove the .spec file if it is not supported by Python developers.It is misleading to ship unsupported file within source tree. Thanks for reply.

The spec file in Misc/RPM has not been maintained in quite some time; the last change to that file that wasn't just a version bump was one [1] whose commit message was "#5776: fix mistakes in python specfile. (Nobody probably uses it anyway.)" and was committed four and a half years ago. It's not unlikely that you're the first person to use the file since then :). We should probably just remove the file, but if you manage to get it working and would like to provide a patch on bugs.python.org, it would probably be accepted.
