Description Tomas Heinrich 2015-03-19 15:42:42 UTC 
Description of problem:

The actual help text:

> $ fedpkg verify-files --help
> usage: fedpkg verify-files [-h] [--builddir BUILDDIR] [--arch ARCH]
> 
> Locally run 'rpmbuild -bl' to verify the spec file's %files sections. This
> requires a successful run of the 'compile' target.

The stated prerequisite is "compile" target, but it actually should be "install" target.


Additionally, the '--builddir' option isn't very useful, as the command searches for buildroot, not builddir.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fedpkg-1.19-2.fc22


Steps to Reproduce:
Run "fedpkg verify-files --help" or check the man page.
Comment 1 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:23:27 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

More information and reason for this action is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora23
Comment 2 cqi 2016-08-23 05:03:17 UTC 
Additionally, the description should be more clear to tell fedpkg-install is required before fedpkg-verify-files.
Comment 3 cqi 2016-08-24 02:59:39 UTC 
This should be fixed in rpkg.
Comment 4 cqi 2016-08-24 03:12:55 UTC 
Acceptance Criteria:

Description of command verify-files is modified to tell that install command should run in advance.
Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 11:35:09 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 32 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 13:23:03 UTC 
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
