Thank you Richard, that is just awesome!
Just wondering, is the EL6 supervisor package still maintained?

I’ve rebuilt the latest supervisor for el/centos/sl6, the build is available at

http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/rmarko/supervisor/

Thanks for the instructions.

Nils, thanks for your feedback. I had actually used the procedure you described (rpm -i –nomd5 to extract the srpm contents to the appropriate directories in the rpmbuild tree and then rpmbuild -ba to create the packages), but in order to make it simpler for the readers I used the rpmbuild --rebuild option in the post. That was a bad choice, because I completely forgot about the md5 issue in C5 and thus the instructions were not accurate. Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks for these instructions!

The fc16 rawhide package is no longer available, but I used http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/16/source/SRPMS/supervisor-3.0-0.5.a10.fc16.src.rpm instead. (Once Fedora 16 is released, this link will probably also die, but you should be able to get the SRPM from the Fedora 16 release repository after that date.)

The rpmbuild –rebuild command also failed on our CentOS 5 build server with an MD5 error, which seems to be caused by the newer RPM format used in Fedora. As a workaround I used a combination of ‘rpm -i –nomd5′ and ‘rpmbuild -bb’ instead:

$ wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/16/source/SRPMS/supervisor-3.0-0.5.a10.fc16.src.rpm
$ rpm -i --nomd5 supervisor-3.0-0.5.a10.fc16.src.rpm
$ rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/supervisor.spec
