Hi Stuart,
I'm moving "directory building" thing on the top of my stack again! I
attach below the relevant part of a previous thread we had a few months
ago. You were suggesting a .spec to let me build a package from CVS
pulled sources instead of .tar.gz archived + patches.
The point is that I can't see my custom %prep rule (basically checking
out sources from CVS) being executed by ltib. I'm running ltib 10.1.1
(up-to-date with savannah) and my .spec is attached. When running with
"-m prep" switch, ltib is complaining like this:
> $ ./ltib -m prep -p tpt2000-cvs.spec

After some inspection I noticed ltib was returning from sub build_rpm in
the following code section.

Am I missing something? I understand the %prep rule to be responsible
for checking out from CVS if %{buildsubdir} is not already there...
Anyone is accustomed with this kind of builds?
Please help me figuring this out.
TIA and regards,
Andrea
