[Vesta-users] pkg2vesta.pl versus glibc

[Jim B. <bu...@cs...>]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to create a new platform. I used this script to
create my component packages:

    pkgs=" \
	glibc-2.3.3-98.i586.rpm \
	glibc-devel-2.3.3-98.i586.rpm \
	ncurses-5.4-59.i586.rpm \
	readline-4.3-306.i586.rpm \
	binutils-2.13.90.0.18-1.i386.rpm \
	gcc-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm \
	bash-2.05b-305.i586.rpm \
	gawk-3.1.3-205.i586.rpm \
    "

    cd rpm
    for p in $pkgs ; do
	pkg2vesta.pl --verbose \
	    --package-root /vesta/buff-linux.boi.hp.com/platforms \
	    --package-pattern nld9-x86/nld9-x86/components/%p \
	    $p
    done

Afterwards, I checked them in, except for
glibc-devel. Here's part of what happened:

    buff-linux$ pwd
    /vesta-work/buff
    buff-linux$ ls -alF
    total 2
    drwxr-xr-x  1 buff   vadmin 512 Jun  7 11:50 ./
    drwxrwxrwx  1 vadmin vadmin 512 Jan  6  2005 ../
    drwxr-xr-x  1 buff   vadmin 512 Jun  7 11:50 glibc/
    drwxr-xr-x  1 buff   vadmin 512 Jun  7 11:50 glibc-devel/
    buff-linux$ vadvance -Z glibc

    buff-linux$ vcheckin glibc

    :

    Enter change history message, terminated with ^D or . on a line by itself
    : 
    vcheckin: /vesta-work/buff/glibc-devel has been modified since last advance
    buff-linux$ 

The glibc-devel package seems to always need to be advanced,
so I can't check it in.

Using vsmash, I went through this process several times. I
even vadvance-d glibc-devel ten times in a row!

Can you help me? Thanks.
