Building RPM fails for 15.17.1

[Alexander Litvak]

Here is the error message. Moving CHANGES to doc/ was one way to fix it.

The problem is fixed in the development version already, the 5.17.1 release with a fixed rpm template is available for download here: https://mmonit.com/tmp/monit-5.17.1.tar.gz

[Alexander Litvak]

file CHANGES is not making to distribution during the make distro command in 5.18. I had to manually add CHANGES to distro tar.gz. Missing changes file prevents RPM from building.

[Tildeslash]

Please can you post details from rpmbuild? Cannot reproduce the problem with 5.18, excerpt from rpmbuild (tested on CentOS 7):

Did you do make distro before rpmbuild?

[Tildeslash]

Yes, the monit-5.18.tar.gz was created using "make dist" ... if you created the tar.gz from the source code, try to checkout the source code again:

git clone [e-mail]:tildeslash/monit.git
cd monit 
./bootstrap
./configure
make dist

[Alexander Litvak]

I see where I made a mistake. I downloaded source tar.gz from https://mmonit.com/monit/dist/monit-5.18.tar.gz (not checked out). Then I decompressed it and followed make distro routine. As the result I got a distro tarball with no CHANGES file. All I had to do is rpmbuild -t[ba] monit-5.18.tar.gz. Sorry about confusion.
