Hello,
I am trying to build RPM packages from tarball (release 2.9.3 and
2.10.0), and i do not find git.spec file, in previous releases i can
found it (e.g. 2.8.3).
O.S.: CentOS 7.2
Command: rpmbuild -ta git-2.9.3.tar.gz
Response: error: Failed to read spec file from git-2.9.3.tar.gz
Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you very much and best regards, Sergio Martín.

Since ab214331 ("Makefile: stop pretending to support rpmbuild",
2016-04-04) that is used in Git 2.9 and later, i.e.
Makefile: stop pretending to support rpmbuild
Nobody in the active development community seems to watch breakages
in the rpmbuild target. As most major RPM based distros use their
own specfile when packaging us, they aren't looking after us as
their pristine upstream tree, either. At this point, it is turning
to be a disservice to the users to pretend that our tree natively
supports "make rpmbuild" target when we do not properly maintain it.

we no longer ship an outdated git.spec and git.spec.in files. This
was done after finding out that nobody noticed that git.spec has
been left broken since around Git 2.8.0 (i.e. we stopped shipping
README without adjusting the reference to it from the git.spec
file).

We deleted the rpm target as it was breaking all the time and not reported
in a timely manner, i.e. the impression was it was always broken.

Not crying out loud when that commit was discussed on the

Umm, I think it would be more: "Not stepping up to maintain the RPM
specs"...
