Dear all,
building the RPM package for my remote target I found a misconfiguration
of the .mk file.
If the regular expression package pcre is enabled in buildroot, rpm will
use it. If not, nothing will be used and regular expression are not
available, making rpm unusable. But rpm has the ability to use an
internal pcre implementation if the external lib is not available. This
needs to be correctly activated before building and then rpm works fine
on the target. See the attached patch for more details.
Regards,
Andreas

We generally don't want to use the internal copy of libraries, and
prefer to use the system-provided library when possible, which is what
is done here.
So there are really two cases:
1 Either the regexp support in RPM is absolutely mandatory for RPM to
be useful. If this is the case, then just make the pcre dependency a
mandatory one, and always pass --with-pcre=external.
2 Or the regexp support in RPM is really optional, and useful only in
certain situations. If this is the case, then what is done today is
correct, and you should simply enable the pcre library.
Consequently, I've marked your patch as Rejected in our patch tracking
system. Do not hesitate to follow up with a different patch if we are
in case (1) above.
Thanks a lot!
Thomas

Dear Vincent,
I tried to make my patch using git according to the manual, but I always
got an error. Maybe related to my inexperience with git. After 4 hours
of different tries I gave up and sent the patch via email. Sorry for the
inconvenience.
Regards,
Andreas

so, lets see if I can help you.
1- configure git in order to be able to use "git send-email" and also to
sign your commits automatically when using "git commit -s". Here is an
example of a ~/.gitconfig file:
user at localhost ~ $ cat .gitconfig
[sendemail]
smtpencryption = tls
smtpserver = your.mail.server.address.here
smtpuser = "your.smtp.username"
smtpserverport = 25
confirm = always
[user]
name = Your Full Name Here
email = your.email at address.here
user at localhost ~ $
That should be enough. But, if you need it, there is more information here:
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email
2- clone the Buildroot repository:
user at localhost ~ $ git clone git://git.busybox.net/buildroot
3- make the changes your want:
user at localhost ~ $ cd buildroot
user at localhost ~ $ vim package/rpm/rpm.mk
4- now observe how that file has been modified:
user at localhost ~ $ git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working
directory)
#
# modified: package/rpm/rpm.mk
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
user at localhost ~ $ git diff package/rpm/rpm.mk
diff --git a/package/rpm/rpm.mk b/package/rpm/rpm.mk
index 7f346b2..05b98db 100644
--- a/package/rpm/rpm.mk

@@ -34,7 +34,7 @@ ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_PCRE),y)

else
-RPM_CONF_OPTS += --with-pcre=none
+RPM_CONF_OPTS += --with-pcre=internal
endif
ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_FILE),y)
user at localhost ~ $
5- now you need to add that modified file to the staging area:
user at localhost ~ $ git add package/rpm/rpm.mk
6- now if you check the status again, you will see how that file has
been added to the staging are in order to be committed:
user at localhost ~ $ git status
# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# modified: package/rpm/rpm.mk
#
7- now you have to "commit", so all the changes to the files in the
staging area (although you only have one file) will be committed. Also
pass the "-s" option to the commit so your "Signed-off-by" will be added
automatically taking the value from your ~/.gitconfig file:
user at localhost ~ $ git commit -s
A text editor should have opened and now you can write a title in the
first line and a comment below the title, leaving one blank line between
them. Please don't write lines longer than 72 characters
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4297574/do-i-need-to-wrap-email-messages-longer-than-72-characters-in-a-line).
8- now you can see your commit on top of the log history. Run "git log"
to see the entire log history paged, or just "git log -1" to see the
most recent commit (which should be yours). This in an example of how it
would look like:
user at localhost ~ $ git log -1
commit 8eb4fddc0ff18b51fbcc5011f1d1d159e4169922
Author: Your Full Name Here <your.email@address.here>
Date: Tue Aug 25 10:28:47 2015 +0100
package/rpm: use the internal pcre when the external is not provided
If the regular expression package pcre is enabled in buildroot, rpm will
use it. If not, nothing will be used and regular expression are not
available, making rpm unusable. But rpm has the ability to use an
internal pcre implementation if the external lib is not available. This
needs to be correctly activated before building and then rpm works fine
on the target.
Signed-off-by: Your Full Name Here <your.email@address.here>
user at localhost ~ $
9- submit that commit by email using "git send-email", so it will format
the patch automatically using "git format-patch" (again, this is an
example of how it would look like):
user at localhost ~ $ git send-email --to=buildroot at buildroot.org -1
/tmp/s5ZjTPKm7e/0001-package-rpm-use-the-internal-pcre-when-the-external-.patch

Dear Vincent,
thanks a lot for your support. I spent some time to google around but
wasn't able to find a clue. Finally I fixed the problem by reinstalling
my linux box. Don't know what the real problem was.
Now everything is working fine.
Regards,
Andreas

Thomas,
in my first try I had no pcre support, so rpm package was built with
--with-pcre=none
Trying to install a binary rpm just containing one file on my target
system failed at the very beginning when rpm was checking package
dependencies. Setting --with-pcre=internal solved this problem. So it
seems to me that pcre is necessary to to dependency checks which is in
my opinion one of the main features or rpm. Isn't it?
Arnout mentioned that he wants to change from rpm5 to rpm and this will
solve my problem too.
So let me know what you think and if I shall send the patch again (now
in the right format) or not.
Regards,
Andreas

If that's indeed the case, then pcre support is really mandatory for
RPM to be useful. Therefore, can you send a patch to make the pcre
dependency a mandatory one? Don't forget to add a comment explaining
why we're making it mandatory even if RPM makes it an optional
dependency.
Thanks,
Thomas

Dear Thomas,
unfortunately it took some time, but finally I cross-checked this topic.
With the change from rpm5 to rpm the problem does not exist anymore and
there is no need for a patch.
Thanks for your support.
Regards,
Andreas
