Unable to build for el6 #126

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to build the varnish 6.0.3 RPM for use on RHEL6 systems. I've set the environment variables REL and ARCH to the following: export REL=el6 export ARCH=x86_64

Next step is to build the rpm with

./package-rpm

This sets up the mock environment correctly but fails when actually building the RPM:

ERROR: Command failed. See logs for output.
 # bash --login -c /usr/bin/rpmbuild -bs --target x86_64 --nodeps /builddir/build/SPECS/varnish.spec

I also see this only builds a source RPM? Can I still build for RHEL6?

Actually, you would rather export ELVER=el6 to your environment but we dropped support for el6 when 6.0 was released because it will reach its end of life before Varnish 6.

Our packaging as a result only targets systemd systems in our pool of supported platforms but the old sysv scripts are still present in the repository.

Unfortunately, it's up to you to edit the RPM spec and the package-rpm script to do that because we don't support this use case.
