I'm well before the step of actually having a package. We're just
talking about the bare spec file at this stage.
Okay, so here is some more testing. I've attached a minimal spec file
(minimal.spec) to illustrate what I'm seeing. I ran the following query
on it:
rpm -q --specfile minimal.spec
I then captured the results of that plus the version of 'rpm', the
installed distro, and uname for a few distros. Here's what I got:
------------------------------------
CentOS release 5 (Final)
minimal-1.0-1
minimal-debuginfo-1.0-1
RPM version 4.4.2.3
Linux 2.6.18-53.el5 #1 SMP i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
minimal-1.0-1
RPM version 4.4.2.3
Linux 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Fedora release 12 (Constantine)
minimal-1.0-1.i686
minimal-debuginfo-1.0-1.i686
RPM version 4.7.2
Linux 2.6.32.9-67.fc12.i686 #1 SMP i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
openSUSE 11.2 (i586)
minimal-1.0-1.i586
RPM version 4.7.1
Linux 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
------------------------------------
My first thought was the version of rpm... but both the oldest version
(CentOS5) and the newest version (Fedora12) both had the -debuginfo
result. Maybe it's i686 vs x86_64 since the one x86_64 system had the
"right" result... except that openSUSE at i586 did as well.
This leads me to believe that there is something installed on the system
that tells rpm to print out the -debuginfo variant. But what?
BTW, the *reason* for this is that I am writing a script that parses the
spec file and exacts specifics magics upon it... but the non-standard
responses are throwing me for a curve.
