I'm trying to create an rpm package using bdist_rpm and it's failing. I can see exactly why it's failing, but I can't coax google into telling me how to fix it. First I see python create a tarball to put in the rpm's SOURCES: creating python-sybase-0.39 making hard links in python-sybase-0.39... hard linking Sybase.py -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking blk.c -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking cmd.c -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking conn.c -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking ctx.c -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking databuf.c -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking datafmt.c -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking date.c -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking datetime.c -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking iodesc.c -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking locale.c -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking money.c -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking msgs.c -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking numeric.c -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking setup.py -> python-sybase-0.39 hard linking sybasect.c -> python-sybase-0.39 tar -cf dist/python-sybase-0.39.tar python-sybase-0.39 gzip -f9 dist/python-sybase-0.39.tar removing 'python-sybase-0.39' (and everything under it) copying dist/python-sybase-0.39.tar.gz -> build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/SOURCES One of the files required by setup.py (ez_setup.py) isn't getting hard linked. Thus, when rpmbuild unpacks the above tarball into the rpm BUILD directory and runs setup.py, it crashes with an ImportError. How do I adjust what files get hard linked into that tarball?
