I was getting "debugsources.list: No such file or directory" errors. Turns out I was moving the BUILD dir to the BUILDROOT. Copy, don't move. Once I changed mv to cp in %install it all worked.

error: Unable to open temp file.
Submitted by gpmidi on Fri, 10/31/2008 - 09:18. TechnologyGot this error while a script was building an RPM:
RPM build errors:
Unable to open temp file.
error: Unable to open temp file.
Turns out the permissions of /var/tmp were wrong. I did a 'chmod 777 /var/tmp' and 'chmod +t /var/tmp' to fix it. You can check what rpm's tmp dir is by running 'rpm --eval %_tmppath'.

LulzLunch Downtime
Submitted by gpmidi on Wed, 07/02/2008 - 19:39. GpMidi.netLulzlunch.com had a bit of downtime earlier due to a temporary disk failure. I'm not sure if this is a sign that one of the disks is about to completely fail. I'm really wishing I had a real hardware raid card in it to protect it from single disk failures. Software raid is fast but won't save you if /boot is on the failing partition.

LulzLunch.Com Gets Links To Threads
Submitted by gpmidi on Tue, 07/01/2008 - 18:58. GpMidi.netI've added a new feature to LulzLunch.Com that should let it link to threads. Since most of the images are without threads it make take some time before they most images have a thread. I am not sure yet whether or not it is working right. I don't feel like fully testing it now.
