In regard to: Re: [Networker] NetWorker client RPMv3, Lars Hecking said (at...:

Not true; there is another option.

One could install the lgtoclnt RPM on your build box, and then use your
own spec file to scoop up the binaries that legato's RPM dropped on the
system and create a binary RPM.  You're repacking a binary only package
so there will be no %prep, no %build, and likely no %install.  I've done
this type of thing before (not for lgto* RPMs, yet), and it works fine.
It's not as nice as having the source, but on the positive side, your
home-grown RPM for the lgtoclnt package can avoid some of the problems
with the stock EMC RPM (such as never incrementing the release -- I would
make it match the build #) and not correctly handling upgrades.

You could even skip the install step and just use rpm2cpio .rpm |cpio -id
to get at the binaries ...

You could, as long as you're careful to have your %post mimic (in a
smarter fashion!) what goes on in the %post of the lgtoclnt RPM, since
at least one of the files is generated by the %post rather than being
packaged in the RPM itself.
