Description

Two issues prevent an rpm package to be built with a python setup.py bdist_rpm command. At least this applies to CentOS 5.4, but I don't think it is distro-dependent.

The first one is version number. Here's a crash log:

creating dist
tar -cf dist/Django-1.2-beta-1.tar Django-1.2-beta-1
gzip -f9 dist/Django-1.2-beta-1.tar
removing 'Django-1.2-beta-1' (and everything under it)
copying dist/Django-1.2-beta-1.tar.gz -> build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm/SOURCES
building RPMs
rpmbuild -ba --define _topdir /home/cesar/package/django/build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm --clean build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm/SPECS/Django.spec
error: File /home/cesar/package/django/build/bdist.linux-x86_64/rpm/SOURCES/Django-1.2_beta_1.tar.gz: No such file or directory
error: command 'rpmbuild' failed with exit status 1

For svn-based builds version is formatted as Django-1.2-beta-1. This version scheme violates RPM rules (see ​RPM File Naming Convention) as it introduces an extra dash.

Patch version.diff changes version formatting for SVN versions (e.g. Django-1.2_beta_1_svn~12743-1).

The second issue is with source:django/trunk/setup.cfg file. It lists examples directory as containing doc files, while it is missing in the repo. Attached doc_files.diff simply removes it.

Upon applying both of these patches I managed to build and install bleeding edge Django version with yum package manager.

Duplicate of #9616.

The first issue is indeed a duplicate of #9616, but the second issue does not appear to be duplicate at all. The doc_files.diff patch still applies - should a new ticket be created, or can we proceed here?

We can keep this ticket open.

As a side note - this is why we say "one issue per ticket" :-)
