Running below command in venv(Python-3.6)

python setup.py bdist_rpm

Error logs:

copying dist/abc-api-0.0.1.tar.gz -> build/bdist.macosx-10.6-intel/rpm/SOURCES
building RPMs
rpm -ba --define __python python3 --define _topdir abc-api/build/bdist.macosx-10.6-intel/rpm --clean build/bdist.macosx-10.6-intel/rpm/SPECS/abc-api.spec
rpm: -ba: unknown option
error: command 'rpm' failed with exit status 1

Versions:

Python 3.6.4
RPM version 4.14.1
setuptools-40.0.0

This is working for zip packaging but not for RPM. Please check.

Thanks in advance.

I confirm that on my machine a recent rpm version (4.14.2) does not have the -b switch anymore. It looks nowadays rpm packages are built with rpmbuild which is already supported by python distutils. So installing rpmbuild should make bidst_rpm work.

Thanks for digging into this @xrmx.

@jaraco @benoit-pierre Should we deprecate bdist_rpm? It seems to be broken without the rpmbuild package.

On debian and brew the rpmbuild command is inside the rpm package, on fedora AFAICT is in a separate package rpm-build. Problem with brew on MacOS is that it gets installed in /usr/local/bin which is not a path searched by CPython distutils code for rpmbuild.

+1 for deprecating.

So there's more chances that is found. At least on MacOS when
installed with brew. This is the minimal fix i can find to help
with: pypa/setuptools#1456.
