Does this look correct? The purpose was to create rpm package that
contains all the latest patches for 4.5.1 as of 2009-12-16. This was
done on OpenSUSE 11.0.

Start by creating an empty dir. The distribution and the patches are in
the parent dir.

tar zxf ../Radiator-4.5.1.tgz
cd Radiator-4.5.1
tar zxf ../../patches-4.5.1.tar.gz
vi Radiator.spec
cd ..
tar zcf Radiator-4.5.1.tgz Radiator-4.5.1
cp Radiator-4.5.1.tgz Radiator-4.5.1
cd Radiator-4.5.1
vi Makefile.PL   # check $rpmdir
perl Makefile.PL
make test
sudo make rpm

ls -l /usr/src/packages/RPMS/noarch/Radiator 4.5.1-2.noarch.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4906593 Dec 16 17:02
/usr/src/packages/RPMS/noarch/Radiator-4.5.1-2.noarch.rpm

The patches were first applied, the spec file modified and then the .tgz
file was remade from the patched source tree. If this was not done, the
patches were not included in the resulting file.

Since the Release was incremented in the spec file, the package version
ends now with -2.


I also noticed that this results in files ending up under
/usr/lib/perl5. Also /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl//Radius being a symlink
back to itself. Also symlinks ./vendor_perl/Radius and ./Radius and
point to the looping ./site_perl/Radius symlink.

% cd /usr/lib/perl5
% find . -name Radius |xargs ls -ld
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   32 Dec 16 17:19 ./Radius ->
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl//Radius

drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 16 17:19 ./site_perl/5.10.0/Radius

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 16 17:19
./site_perl/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi/auto/Radius

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   32 Dec 16 17:19 ./site_perl/Radius ->
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl//Radius

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   32 Dec 16 17:19 ./vendor_perl/Radius ->
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl//Radius
