#57 Please make spectool work on a list of spec files
Closed by decathorpe. Opened by nim.

Closed
Reopen Issue

So, I blew away my ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES to make sure no past leftover interfered with testing the new spectool, and now I need to re-populate it.

It would be awfully nice if spectool could operate on a list of spec files like rpmlint does. This way I could just do a:

$ rpmdev-spectool -R -g ~/fedora/*/*spec

instead of wrapping spectool in a shell loop

@nim Can you check whether this works for you? I'm using a different directory layout and don't want to mess things up locally.

decathorpe, https://pagure.io/fork/decathorpe/rpmdevtools/raw/master/f/rpmdev-spectool blows up on the second spec file

$  rpmdev-spectool -R -g ~/fedora/fedpkg/*-fonts/*spec

Both the first and the second spec spectool fine separately

Can you try again? Made a small change that should fix this.

@decathorpe still blows up with the same trace :(

Well, then that's a limitation of the rpm python bindings. And if we need to create a subprocesses for parsing each .spec file then it's certainly easier to do this just with a loop in the shell instead.
