[Numpy-discussion] Building rpm for 23.1 fails at the end

[Fernando Perez]

Hi all,

I just tried:

root at planck[Numeric-23.1]# ./setup.py build bdist --formats=rpm

and after a while I got this traceback:

moving build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/SRPMS/Numeric-23.1-1.src.rpm -> dist
Traceback (most recent call last):

AssertionError: unexpected number of RPM files found: 
['build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/RPMS/i386/Numeric-23.1-1.i386.rpm', 
'build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/RPMS/i386/Numeric-debuginfo-23.1-1.i386.rpm']

As it turns out, the rpm DID get correctly built, but the -debuginfo- one is 
confusing setup.py.  I simply copied the rpm by hand and moved on, but someone 
who knows more about distutils than me might want to look into this.

Cheers,
