Trying to install dmd-2.061-0.fedora.x86_64.rpm on Fedora 18 fails with the following error message:

Transaction Check Error:
  file / from install of dmd-2.061-0.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64
  file /usr/bin from install of dmd-2.061-0.x86_64 conflicts with file from
package filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64
  file /usr/lib from install of dmd-2.061-0.x86_64 conflicts with file from
package filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64
  file /usr/lib64 from install of dmd-2.061-0.x86_64 conflicts with file from
package filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64

I believe this is caused by yum/rpm being more fussy about such things and should be fixable by a small change to the spec file used to build the rpm. Basically, don't list directories in %files (only files) unless the directory is exclusive to your package and will be deliberately empty.

I tried using yum's --tolerant switch but the installation still failed.

I'm willing to have a go at fixing this issue.  How do I get a copy of the sources including the RPM spec file?

DMD sources are here http://dlang.org/download.html

But I don't know where is RPM data (I guess nowhere, somebody just uploads ready rpms to dlang.org) and who is preparing release. Perhaps you can found answer at http://forum.dlang.org/

I think this script creates the RPM spec file https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/blob/master/linux/dmd_rpm.sh

That is indeed the script that builds the rpm.

A first inspection indicates that removal of line 283:

find $TEMPDIR/$DMDDIR/ -type d | sed 's:'$TEMPDIR'/'$DMDDIR':%dir ":' | sed 's:$:":' >> dmd.spec

would fix the problem.

In the meantime, I'm experimenting with "rpmrebuild -e dmd" (and removing the effect of the above line) on a system where I already had dmd installed before I upgraded to Fedora 18 (as judging from that scripts path it's not in the zip tarball).

Unfortunately package rebuilt using rpmrebuild fails to install due to a digest mismatch which I think is a rpmrebuild error.

However, I've now discovered a dmd.spec file at github and notice that the file https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/blob/master/linux/dmd_rpm.sh does not appear to exist in the master branch so modifying it would be fruitless.

I will checkout the code from github and see if I can figure out how to build an rpm from that and then try to fix the problem.

Well, that's funny.  After logging in to github (rather than being anonymous) I get to see a different set of files (including dmd_rpm.sh albeit in a different directory than that quoted and dmd.spec is no longer there.

Otherwise the plan stays the same.

Created an attachment (id=1191)
A patch to add "rpmpkg" sub directory to "installer" repositry at github.

This is a patch to add a new directory (rpmpkg) to the D-Programming-Language/installer repository at github.  It provides a mechanism for creating binary rpm packages from the binary package archives (*.pkg.tar.xz) at www.digitalmars.com on any system with rpmbuild and friends installed.

To create i386 and x86_64 binary rpms for the 2.061 release just type:

make

inside the new directory.

Provided there are no radical changes to the base install directories (e.g. /usr/bin, /usr/lib and so on) and /etc/dmd.conf and /etc/bash_completion.d/dmd remain the only configuration files this process should work for other versions/releases by passing the version/release to make e.g.:

make VERSION=2.062 RELEASE=1

would build rpms for version 2.062 release 1 (provided, of course, that the requisite binary package archives are in place at www.digitalmars.com).

the reason for the just uploaded patch (instead of results for modifying dmd_rpm.sh) is that this is the solution I arrived at after being unable to test changes to dmd_rpm.sh due to it only working on debian and my attempts to install on a virtual machine failing (the debian install dvd will not boot).

Created an attachment (id=1192)
Fix errors discovered building rpms for 2.062 version

A second patch to fix a bug in the earlier patch and set the default version to version 2.062 release 0.
