Is there a command to tell rpkg to automatically download the source code archive from .spec informations?

Question: is there a command to tell rpkg to automatically download the archive from url and source0 parameter?

I’m not sure about rpkg commands, but since that spec file does not use any {{{ ... }}} rpkg macros, you can use normal rpm tools like spectool (from rpmdevtools package).

spectool -g downloads all sources and patches in a spec file, or -gS for sources only.

@jn64 thanks, it works :slightly_smiling_face:

Now, I have this error:

$ spectool --get-files nvim-packer.spec

The %autosetup macro is extracting Source0 and cd-ing into the given name.

From the spec file:

%autosetup -n %{name}-master

which evaluates to:

%autosetup -n nvim-packer-master

That is where the cd nvim-packer-master comes from.

But that does not match the name of the top-level dir in the Source0 tarball. If you open the tarball yourself and check, the top-level dir should be packer.nvim-master. That’s how GitHub creates their archives, the name is in this format <project name>-<git reference>.

So, you should change that line in the spec file to:

%autosetup -n packer.nvim-master
