!!!Allow normal users to compile source [RPM]s without root permissions |

Simply copy this into __~/.rpmmacros__ |

%_signature gpg |

%_gpg_path ~/.gnupg |
| |

%_gpg_name your gpg name |
| |

%_gpgbin /usr/bin/gpg |

%_topdir /home/user/redhat |

%_tmppath /var/tmp/rpm |

%_rpmtopdir %{_topdir} |
| |
|
17 |
%_builddir %{_topdir}/BUILD |
| |
|
18 |
%_rpmdir %{_rpmtopdir}/RPMS |
| |
|
19 |
%_sourcedir %{_rpmtopdir}/SOURCES |
| |
|
20 |
%_specdir %{_rpmtopdir}/SPECS |
| |
|
21 |
%_srcrpmdir %{_rpmtopdir}/SRPMS |
| |
|

If you don't want to sign the packages you can comment out/delete the lines from %_signature to %_gpgbin. You can also change %_topdir to your liking. |

You will need to recreate the directory tree to compile into: |
| |
|
26 |
mkdir BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS |
| |
|
27 |
cd RPMS; mkdir athlon i386 i486 i586 i686 noarch |
| |
|
28 |
Now you can run: |
| |
|
29 |
rpmbuild --rebuild <package name> |
| |
|
30 |
as a normal user and install the package(s) that will be in redhat/RPMS/arch |
| |

!!!Fixing RPM if it hangs whenever you run it, regardless of action attempted |
| |
|
35 |
|
| |
|
36 |
RPM databases can get corrupted, or locks can get stuck forever. |
| |
|
37 |
|
| |
|
38 |
# rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* ; rpm --rebuilddb |
| |
|
39 |
|
| |
|
40 |
Be sure to kill all running instances of RPM before doing this. __rpm --rebuilddb__ may take a while. Afterwards you should be set. |
