file added to rpm as zero bytes

[Eran Ben Natan]

Strange indeed.

You can try to use install instead of %{__cp}. I don't know if it's
matter, but I think it's worth a try.

You can also try to remove the * in the %files.

Subject: file added to rpm as zero bytes

 

Hello,

 

I've been pulling my hair out of an issue with an RPM I'm trying to
build.

 

In my %install section I have the following lines consecutively:

 

    %{__cp} -a bin/%{name} ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_bindir}/%{name}

    %{__cp} -a bin/%{name} ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_bindir}/%{name}-2

 

And in the %files section I have

 

%attr(0755,root,root) %{_bindir}/*

 

The files are both added to the rpm in the correct spot, but
%{_bindir}/%{name} is added as a 0 byte file, while %{_bindir}/%{name}-2
is added as the correct size.  The source file is a shell script if that
has any bearing on the matter.
