Errors when building binary RPM on OL9

[Linus Hicks]

I have downloaded the 3.2.3 tar file from the freeradius site and trying to build the binary RPM on an Oracle Linux 9 system.

I copied the redhat/freeradius.spec file into the SPECS directory but needed to make a couple of changes to get it this far.

1. I got a file not found error on SOURCES/freeradius-tmpfiles-conf. That file is in the redhat/ directory but I couldn't figure out how to change where it is looking for it so just put a copy where it is looking.

2. I have installed postgresql-15 from binary RPM on their site and the paths to the /lib and /include directories don't match the paths searched in the build, now resolved.

3. Now I'm getting:

RPM build errors:
    line 51: It's not recommended to have unversioned Obsoletes: Obsoletes: freeradius-devel
    line 52: It's not recommended to have unversioned Obsoletes: Obsoletes: freeradius-libs
    Macro expanded in comment on line 602: %{_mandir}/man5/rlm_idn.5.gz}

    Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:

   /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/freeradius/rlm_python.so-3.2.3-1.el9.x86_64.debug
   /usr/lib64/freeradius/rlm_python.so


It did not create the RPM and I believe the last set of files listed as "Installed (but unpackaged)" need to be resolved.

I know there's a way to ignore the error and continue, but that could leave me with a broken RPM.

Any help is appreciated.
