rpmbuild doesn't generate rpm package

Hello,

I'm trying to do a rpm package that only changes some config files of other installed package. I don't need source and buildroot. Just use the post directive to run some shell script. When I rpmbuild -ba the SPEC file only the src.rpm is generated and the noarch.rpm does not.

Here's my SPEC file:

Code:

Name: syslog-clients-config

Version: 0.9

Release: 1

License: GPL

Group: DES/EDS

BuildArch: noarch

Packager: someone@somewhere.com

Requires: syslog-ng



%description

whatever



%post

cp /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.`date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S"`

cat /dev/null >/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

service syslog-ng reload

Any help?

Try adding %files. I tried this with your example, and even with nothing in the %files section it wrote a noarch.rpm. I'm using rpm-4.4.2.2. So like:

%description
whatever

%files

%post
cp blah blah
