Rpmlint test warnings

Unfortunately, I am not the bearer of good news tonight. I have been shuffling between different tasks to resolve a number of warning messages, served by rpmlint. The interesting thing is that one of the warnings clearly indicates that there is a hidden file in /usr/lib64 directory path. However, whenever I issue the  rm -f command to remove the hidden file, rpmbuild -ba command is not happy. So I am back to square one, aggressively designating some research time to finish this phase of the build. At this point I am a bit concern that I maybe falling behind in getting my assigned task completed...mayday...mayday. Below is a screenshot, which renders my current warning messages.


I will be devoting some more time to see this assigned task through. Stay tuned.

hey kerry,

You can run the following command to find and remove all ".packlist" files from your source tarball before the configure is executed:

find %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/ -type f -name ".packlist" -exec rm -rf '{}' \;

You can add this to the %prep section to be executed by rpmbuild every time you compile a new RPM.

Another method is to create a patch that will remove all the patch files using the %patch macro. The method for creating a patch is outlined in this post and applies here as well.

Also, the two warning: enchant-dictionary-not-found and unstripped-binary-or-object can be fixed by following this post

Hope this helps bro
