I'm no rpm expert and the "make rpm" rule > seems to work for me. OK, I found the problem. The key part is this: [current directory: .../usr/share/git-core/templates/] (cd blt && tar cf - .) | \ (cd '/var/tmp/git-core-0.99.9-1-root-wd/usr/share/git-core/templates/' && tar xf -) tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors I have CDPATH set in my shell environment, and bash outputs the pathname of the new working directory on stdout; this gets piped together with the tarball to the "tar xf -", and the second tar complains that the directory name comes unexpected. Test: -> cd /usr/local/BUILD/git-core-0.99.9/templates -> cd blt /usr/local/BUILD/git-core-0.99.9/templates/blt -> As a workaround I can simply unset CDPATH, and the build works fine. A more robust build script woul make sure that CDPATH is not set.
