#126 RPM Build Broken 1.1.9

[Michael Klatt]

The RPM build appears broken in version 1.1.9.

python setup.py bdist_rpm

To get it to work, I did:

1) touch CHANGELOG
2) added "include CHANGELOG" to MANIFEST.in

The RPM built just fine after that.

No...

Try changing "CHANGELOG" to "ChangeLog" in MANIFEST.in and
see if that fixes it.

Sorry, It's already there.

I did, however, discover that changing "CHANGELOG" to
"ChangeLog" in setup.cfg fixes it.

Try the CVS version. I've aded some additional HTML
documentation, and since I don't have RPM any more, I can't
test it to see if specifying directories really works, and
the documentation I can find on the web is a little spotty.

The RPM build worked just fine, but only after a few changes
to the CVS export. I used the following commands to checkout
the repository:

cvs
-d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mysql-python \ login

cvs -z3
-d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mysql-python \ co -P MySQLdb

Then I needed to copy the contents of the /doc directory
from the 1.1.9 distribution and create the ChangeLog file.
You probably populate the doc directory and ChangeLog file
when you package a distribution tar.gz file. As long as
these files appear in the distribution, the RPM build will
work just fine.

Thanks!
