Problem running setuptools bdist_rpm

[Brent]

Hi folks,

While trying to build an RPM of CherryPy version 3.1.2 I ran into the
following error:

[brent@fc10 /opt/vendor/python/CherryPy-3.1.2]$ sudo python setup.py
bdist_rpm
.....
<snip>
....
running install_data
error: can't copy 'cherrypy/favicon.ico': doesn't exist or not a
regular file
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.B3lqaj (%install)


RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.B3lqaj (%install)
error: command 'rpmbuild' failed with exit status 1

Adding the files listed in the install_data section of setup.py to the
MANIFEST seemed to remedy the problem.

[brent@fc10 /opt/vendor/python/CherryPy-3.1.2]$ diff MANIFEST
MANIFEST.orig

< cherrypy/favicon.ico
< cherrypy/LICENSE.txt

< cherrypy/test/static/dirback.jpg
< cherrypy/tutorial/tutorial.conf
< cherrypy/tutorial/README.txt
< cherrypy/tutorial/pdf_file.pdf

Hopefully this is helpful.

Best,

Brent.
