I built courier-authlib like this:
rpmbuild -tb --define 'xflags --with-mailuser=mailuser
--with-mailgroup=mailuser' courier-authlib-0.56.tar.bz2
This process works fine with courier, but when I do this with authlib,
it ignores my user/group settings and installs everything as
daemon:daemon.
'configure --help' indicates that these are valid options for authlib.
What am I missing?
courier-authlib's specfile does not use xflags. Extract it from the
tarball manually, and edit it.
Ok, not being familiar with specfiles, what do I need to do to it?
Based on the courier specfile, it looks like I could just add this line to
enable xflags:
%configure %{?xflags: %{xflags}}
Will this work, or do I need to do something else?
And is there an easier way to specify configure options during an
rpmbuild?
Sorry to reply to myself, but I have one other question.
Once I get the authlib rpms built with the correct options, do I need to
rebuild the Courier-0.56 rpms as well?
Yes -- in this specific case, where you're changing the userid and groupid,
the Courier RPMs must also be rebuilt. You will also need to do a clean
install. Do not do a straightforward upgrade. Remove the old packages, and
manually clean up all the leftovers -- you'll still have leftover changed
configuration files in the etc directory, and stuff in the mail spool
directory. Since the userid/groupid has changed you will need to remove
everything, and do a clean install.
