Summary0013063: CPackRPM fails on CentOS-based systems
DescriptionOn Amazon Linux 20110923 (a CentOS-based distribution), using cpack to generate an RPM fails. rpm is not picking up _topdir, even though it is set in the spec. The solution is to pass a flag to rpm defining _topdir. I'm attaching a patch that does this.

Hi Tom,

What is the version of rpm/rpmbuild on this distro?
rpm --version

Did you try on CentOS?

The version of rpm on Amazon Linux is RPM version 4.8.0. The release is 16.36.amzn1.

I also tried on CentOS 6.2 (rpm version 4.8.0). The problem does not seem to occur there, but the patch I submitted doesn't break anything.

Right of course. Sorry.
I just merged your fix to next:
Merge topic 'CPackPM-fixAmazonLinux' into next

3a0c60d Override topdir from rpm command line seems necessary on Amazon linux.

This should be harmless on other distros.
(I tested fedora and debian based + rpm)
But I'd suggest to wait dashboard run + user testing (e.g. on OpenSUSE)
before putting this in the next 2.8.8rc.

Waiting for wider testing
on RPM based distros.

OpenSUSE
Mandriva/Mageia
RHEL
