RPM Build ?? My rpm does nothing :(

[Michael Gale]

Hello,

I am trying to build a package for nrpe-2.0, I was following the
instructions at http://www.rpm.org/RPM-HOWTO/build-it.html.

But nothing happens when I do a rpm -i rpm-package-name, even with -vv I
do not see anything being done that would indicate it was installing a
package ?

Here are my steps:

1. Downloaded nrpe-2.0 from the web and extracted the package.

2. I ran ./configure with the options I wanted.

3. I then create a init.d script for nrpe

4. Placed a template config (nrpe.cfg-rpm) in the directory

5. I then created a setup-nrpe.sh script which creates a user on the
system and sets a default password.

6. I then created my nrpe-2.0-1.spec file (attached).

7. I then tar/gzipped backup the source directory and placed it
in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/nrpe-2.0.tar.gz


Now if I run rpmbuild -ba nrpe-2.0-1.spec it seems to do everything
correctly. 

It extracts the source, the user is created, runs make and installs the
binaries in the places I specified. It also puts the nrpe init.d script
is the right directory and creates the syslink. All of which is
specified in the spec file. 

So why it is if I run rpm -i nothing seems to happen ?

Summary: NRPE Allows nagios checks to be done on remote clients 
Name: nrpe
Version: 2.0
Release: 1
Copyright: GPL
Group: Applications/System 
Source: /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/nrpe-2.0.tar.gz 
BuildRoot: /var/tmp/%{name}-buildroot

%description
NRPE was designed to work with the nagios system monitor, check out:
www.nagios.org.

NRPE allows you to execute "local" plugins (like check_disk, check_procs, etc.) on 
remote hosts. The check_nrpe plugin is called from Nagios and actually makes 
the plugin requests to the remote host. Requires that nrpe be running on the 
remote host (either as a standalone daemon or as a service under inetd). 
Supports passing command arguments to server, as well as native SSL/TLS 
encryption (anonymous DH mode). If you want the latest and greatest CVS snapshot 
of NRPE, you can get it here.

Note: NRPE version 2.0 breaks backward compatability with NRPE 1.x clients/servers! 

This RPM was created by Michael Gale (michael.gale at pason.com) with assist with the 
installation of nrpe on Pason servers. Absolutely no warrently comes with this RPM, 
install it AT YOUR OWN RISK.
