creating nrep version 3 rpm

[vuduops]

I am trying to create an rpm for 3.0.1 version for nrpe using the tar.gz file. I am getting the below error. Is there a way to fix this issue ?

[XXXX SOURCES ]$ rpmbuild -ta 3.0.1.tar.gz
error: Failed to read spec file from 3.0.1.tar.gz

Creating RPMs is out of the scope of support. Fedora has very thorough documentation on the topic: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_c ... PM_package

If you'd like, you can file a feature request on the NRPE github: https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nrpe/issues/new

nrpe.spec is created from nrpe.spec.in during the ./configure process. So you need to run ./configure first, then re-tar and include the newly generated nrpe.spec file.

Thank you. I tried creating as root after the confgure and it worked.

It sounds like this issue has been resolved. Is it okay if we lock this thread? Thanks for choosing the Nagios forums!
