RHEL 8.10/Fedora 40 Rpmbuild fails: error: Failed to read spec file from munge-0.5.16.tar.gz #147

Dun, As stated in the title rpmbuild -tb munge-0.5.16.tar.gz returns error: Failed to read spec file from munge-0.5.16.tar.gz. I have tried it with -ts --clean and -ta --clean. In the event that it was an issue with the device I also tried on a Fedora 40 device. I understand they have not been specifically tested however I'm hoping they're similar enough to not be the issue.

Possibly related: I have tried it with 0.5.13 (This is the version that is in the Rhel 8 Appstream repo) and it fails with a different error. rpmbuild -ta --clean munge-0.5.13.tar.gz error: Bad source: /home/dahlonega/munge-0.5.13.tar.xz: No such file or directory

It is not lost on me that the Bad source error is specifying .xz as opposed to .gz

Ultimately I am attempting to build from RPM as slurm requires munge-devel, which does not appear to be in the Rhel 8 repo. (Munge and munge-libs are)

Ps: I appreciated the way you responded in kind to my last issue. It was a much needed chuckle!

Downloaded the munge-0.5.16.tar.xz instead of the munge-0.5.16.tar.gz and it seems to have worked fine with rpmbuild -tb --clean munge-0.5.16.tar.xz

Operator error?

The official release tarballs that I build are constructed in a manner to work with rpmbuild -t. These dist tarballs are named munge-${version}.tar.xz. In contrast, the munge-${version}.tar.gz tarballs are automatically generated by GitHub and do not work with rpmbuild -t. Yes, it's unfortunately confusing.

The "-t" option directs rpmbuild to look inside the tarball for the spec file. And that embedded spec file specifies the name of the (to be created) tarball in the Source0 tag with an ".xz" suffix.

I'm glad I could brighten your day. :smile:
