General :: Rpmbuild Force To Use Cpio.gz On RHEL 5.3?
Oct 19, 2010
I have RHEL 5.3.
I am trying to build a e1000 network card driver rpm with particular requirement to have cpio.gz inside rpm.
But after i build my rpm driver it has cpio.lzma inside. I simply build using command from the readme: rpmbuild -tb *.tar.gz.
I have googled and found that from around 5.0 RHEL includes lzma and uses it as a default setting. Is there any way to force to use cpio.gz or somehow repackage my rpm correctly?
I have searched through makefile and other files but was not able to find a clue.

i would like to know if its safe to backup root partition with cpio. I need to do an online backup of running system so i can't unmount partition or so to dump it or dd it. Is it safe? is there any chance the backup would be inconsistent or so? What is the worst what could happend? will the files used by a running system backup correctly?
Running opensuse 11.3 and some basic daemons like ftp,www server...
BTW i did try search with tag "cpio" but there was not such a topic.

I want to install Forms & Reports Developer Suite in Linux OS So I have downloaded Oracle Developer Suite 10g for Linux (Including Forms & Reports)
as_linux_x86_ids_101202_disk1.cpio
as_linux_x86_ids_101202_disk2.cpio
So in the Oracle Documentation Site they have given Guide as Follows:
To extract the cpio file,
move the cpio file to an empty directory,
then do:
cat filename.cpio | cpio -icd ....
but its not extracting.

I am trying to download RHEL 5.4 AS version for testing..But under [URL] There is no specific link for AS version or ES version..How can I detect which iso is for AS and which one for ES..? There are separate links for AS and ES version for RHEL 4.x version but why is it not available for RHEL 5.x versions?

recently i have been building my own kernels, and have been successful. however, over the last 2 days, using the proper documentation and methods i always get to the same point that rpmbuild fails at. it's very frustrating to say the least...i am somewhat new to fedora, as i tend to use debian-based systems or freeBSD, where the approach and methodology is quite different to that of redhat. the command used:
rpmbuild -bb --with baseonly --with firmware --without debuginfo --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec
this builds the kernel with modules(needed by me) and this is where it fails:
[Code]...
if anyone has fix let me know, i can't update or upgrade rpmubuild without doing so to my whole system, so i hope this isn't a bug in rpmbuild.... i already had to upgrade yum & yum-utils because of a bug that wouldn't let "builddep" work. (come on fedora, this is a standard release, i shouldn't be having problems with yum or with rpm! this is apart of the OS's core isn't it? anyway, if someone who is in the know has a solution

I'm using rpmbuild 4.8.0 to build my rpm package on RHEL6. The spec file works just fine with any other Linux Releases, including RHEL5. But at the end, build failed with:
"shell-init error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory" I found that rpmbuild tried to compare the BUILD directory with the root filesystem, it will delete the BUILD directory if it's not '/'. My working directory is /tmp/test, so something like this in the /var/tmp/rpm-tmp file:
Code:
cd "/tmp/test/BUILD"
[ "RPM_BUILD_ROOT" != "/" ] && rm -rf "${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}"
I think this is the reason why the command failed. And I can't find the two lines of similar code in an earlier version of rpmbuild on RHEL5.

The last time I did a restore using cpio under CentOS 3.9 it took a very long time for me to find my seemingly correct command wasn't working and I ended up doing the work in Knoppix. This time I thought I'd run my command by wiser heads before the necessary tape turns up and I spend a lot of time finding my command doesn't work. cpio -i -mtvV --block-size=128 --no-absolute-filenames /var/log/maillog* < /dev/st0
Does this look right? The backup string is find / -path /mnt -prune -o -path /lost+found -prune -o -path /sys -prune -o -path /proc -prune -o -path /swapfile1 -prune -o -path /var/named/chroot/proc -prune -o -print | cpio -o -H crc --block-size=128 > /dev/st0
EDIT: I changed the restore string to cpio -i -mtvV --block-size=128 --no-absolute-filenames *var/log/maillog* < /dev/st0 EDIT2: Whoops, should be cpio -i -mvV --block-size=128 --no-absolute-filenames *var/log/maillog* < /dev/st0

Below is the oneliner that I am using to exclude all of "." hidden directories within the same directory.
Code:
cd find . -depth ( -wholename ./.* ) -prune -o -print | cpio -oav > /media/caca/extract/full$date.cpio
it works fine but when I extract the files from the full$date.cpio archive it appears to have worked but gives me permission errors:
Code:
cd /media/caca/extract
cpio -ivd < full061411.cpio
cpio: Selection_001.png: Cannot change mode to rw-r--r--: Operation not permitted

how to create an initrd image using cpio, instead of mkfs?
Now im doing it like this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=initrd bs=1024 count=10000
mkfs -t ext2 -F -m 0 -b 1024 -i 1024 initrd
But i would like to move to cpio, because with dd, if you add something new, you might need to change the count. Also cpio is used in distro's like Fedora and Ubuntu.

I'm trying to create a set of rpm files to install the requirements for a program.I found a great utility named cpanspec that will create a spec file for perl modules and have started building rpm files. I was able to create an rpm file for Business::CreditCard as a regular user. Now I'm trying to build another module that requires B::CC, and rpmbuild -ba fails saying that I am missing B::CC. I don't want to install it just to create another rpm file.Is there a way to make rpmbuild "think" that B::CC is installed in the build environment without installing it on the system?
