[gaim-migrate @ 17340] Put gaim-text and the gnt stuff into a gaim-text RPM so that our main RPM doesn't depend on ncurses. rpmbuild -ta gaim-2.0.0dev.tar.bz2 doesn't work for me anymore. Did it used to? Does it work for other people? For me it prints error: Name field must be present in package: (main package) error: Version field must be present in package: (main package) error: Release field must be present in package: (main package) error: Summary field must be present in package: (main package) error: Group field must be present in package: (main package) error: License field must be present in package: (main package) And it creates a file called "tar: Pattern matching characters used in file n ames. Please," in my ~/rpmbuild/SPECS directory. It does not put gaim.spec in my ~/rpmbuild/SPECS directory, and it does not put anything in ~/rpmbuild/BUILD or ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES, either committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
