OK, I guessed on the .version file, and it appears I guessed wrong.
First, I looked at that tag in the trunk:
PWD = ~/dev/openafs/trunk]
pmoore@Renegade$ git describe --abbrev=4 HEAD
BP--openafs-stable-1_6_x-174-g50920
Just for giggles, I tried this:
echo openafs-devel-1_5_77 > .version
and then I was able to at least build the srpm. However, when rebuilding
the srpm to get binary rpms:
+ /usr/bin/bzip2 -dc /var/tmp/rpm-root/SOURCES/openafs-UNKNOWN-doc.tar.bz2
+ tar -xf -
tar: Read 6144 bytes from -
+ STATUS=0
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ cd openafs-UNKNOWN
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.73321: line 51: cd: openafs-UNKNOWN: No such file or
directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.73321 (%prep)
Working backwards, I see where the UNKNOWN comes from. When building the
srpm (which builds without errors):
efsops@madefsd01$ ./makesrpm.pl ../../../../openafs-1.5.77-src.tar.bz2
../../../../openafs-1.5.77-doc.tar.bz2
Building version UNKNOWN
So, I don't think my .version hack worked. What should have been the
contents of that file for the openefs-1.5.77-src.tar.* files that were
published? I guessed wrong... :-(

</div>you need to install the kernel-devel rpm for your kernel.<br>

</div>it's not related.<br>
<br>
you need a file ".version" in the top level srcdir, same director=
y as<br>
e.g. <a href=3D"http://configure.ac" target=3D"_blank">configure.ac</a><br>
it should look like output from<br>
git describe --abbrev=3D4 HEAD<br>
<br>
e.g.<br>
openafs-devel-1_5_77<br>
at a tag point.<br>
