Description Jon Lapham 2003-08-08 18:35:21 UTC 
In order to build an RPM, the file rpm/gnucash.spec must be used.  This
file is generated from rpm/gnucash.spec.in.

Currently, GnuCash 'make dist' does not create rpm/gnucash.spec.  So, to
build an rpm of GnuCash, one must execute "./configure; cd rpm; make" from
a distribution tarball in order to make the gnucash.spec file.  This is
kind of stupid because the file could be generated at the time of 'make dist'.

This would save time (configure gets run *anyways* by the RPM build
process) and make the RPM binsary creation process simpler.

Actually the problem isn't that it doesn't get made, it gets made when
'make' is run. The problem is it was accidentally left out of the file
list so isn't being included in the dist tarball. I'll fix this for
the next release

Fixed in CVS (head and 1.8 branch) -- should be fixed for 1.8.5
