Description Karsten Keil 2006-02-02 16:49:17 UTC

I try to make build (from build.rpm, not our internal) running on a SUSE OSS Beta3 installation.
First problem was, that build want install libselinux, but this does not exist, so I removed it from the default package list.
Then build did setup the /var/tmp/build-root successfully but failed
to run the 
chroot $BUILD_ROOT su -c "$RPMBUILD \ $BUILD_PARAMETERS /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/$SPECFILE" - $BUILD_USER
command with 'su abuild - invalid password'

Also
chroot /var/tmp/build-root
su abuild does not work.
/etc/passwd does contain abuild without a password.

I set this to critical, since partners need a working build to create KMP packages and Beta3 is really late to start tests with partner supplied external (None GPL) drivers.

Comment 2 Michael Schröder 2006-02-02 16:54:51 UTC

Well, I have no time to change the external build at the moment. It needs a lot of work, e.g. package expansion, spec file parsing and so on.

So I'll ignore the "critical".

Comment 3 Karsten Keil 2006-02-03 12:24:36 UTC

OK I found the reason for the su problem, pam_modules was missing and some other packages.
I now have a working build that also compile KMP (patch follows).
I do not think that we need all enhancements (better spec file parsing,
package expansion) now, but we need a solution for partners.
Maybe the patch is enough for the moment.

If you accept this patch, I can submit a new package.

The build.rpm from the last beta should work.
