Re: empty folder for downlaoding PostgreSQL 8.1.5 for FC 4

hi
i downloaded the srpm from the location that you have specified for Refora core 4, x 86, 64 bit arch.

i am now trying to do:
rpmbuild --rebuild /gsp-dist/blr/developer/surabi/PostgreSQL8.1.5/postgresql-8.1.5-6PGDG.src.rpm

it gives the following error:

Installing /gsp-dist/blr/developer/surabi/PostgreSQL8.1.5/postgresql-8.1.5-6PGDG.src.rpm
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/postgresql-8.1.5.tar.bz2;455ac7b9: cpio: read
error: /gsp-dist/blr/developer/surabi/PostgreSQL8.1.5/postgresql-8.1.5-6PGDG.src.rpm cannot be installed

please tell as to what i am doing wrong.

thanks,
regards
Surabhi

Probably there was no one with FC4 systems to build the rpms. You can
download the source rpms and build the rpms from it:

Download from:
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.1.5/linux/srpms/fedora/fedora-core-4/

And then build for x86:

rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686-redhat-Linux
http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp?file=binary%2Fv8.1.5%2Flinux%2Fsrpms%2Ffedora%2Ffedora-core-4%2Fpostgresql-8.1.5-6PGDG.src.rpm

and for x86_64:
rpmbuild --rebuild
http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp?file=binary%2Fv8.1.5%2Flinux%2Fsrpms%2Ffedora%2Ffedora-core-4%2Fpostgresql-8.1.5-6PGDG.src.rpm

If you do it place the rpms where Devrim can copy them to the ftp server.
