This should allow it to build on both RHEL systems (old package name) as well as Fedora 15+ systems:

diff --git a/extras/spec/foreman.spec b/extras/spec/foreman.spec
index 88af005..0afcc2e 100644
--- a/extras/spec/foreman.spec
++ b/extras/spec/foreman.spec
@ -18,7 +18,11 @ Requires: ruby(abi) = 1.8
Requires: rubygems
Requires: rubygem(rake) >= 0.8.3
Requires: puppet >= 0.24.4
if ! (0{?fedora} > 14 || 0%{?rhel} > 5)
Requires: rubygem(sqlite3)
%else
Requires: rubygem(sqlite3-ruby)
+%endif
Requires: rubygem(rest-client)
Requires: rubygem(json)
Requires(pre): shadow-utils

on that system, can you run this command please?

rpm --eval 'F = 0%{?fedora} EL = 0%{?rhel}'

It should return something like: F = 0 EL = 05

I am currently having this problem with the foreman repo (see http://pastie.org/private/udydkbocjfqsss3yvmfpg for the actual error output).

The output of the requested rpm command is:

root# rpm --eval 'F = 0%{?fedora} EL = 0%{?rhel}'
F = 015 EL = 0

Is there a way I can work around this now?

Erg. Redmine ate the diff, that did not work out.

Affected line should read:

Source0: http://github.com/ohadlevy/%{name}/tarball/%{name}-%{version}.tar.bz2

Attached .spec file appears ok, but I cannot change the mimetype to text/plain.

Confirmed successful installation. Can't speak beyond that yet as I've no idea what I'm doing. :)

The logic here is broken.

With the current extras/spec/foreman.spec:

%if ! (0%{?fedora} > 14 || 0%{?rhel} > 5) 
Requires:       rubygem(sqlite3) 
%else 
Requires:       rubygem(sqlite3-ruby) 
%endif 

if the variables are not defined they will get a value of "0". Consequently the default requirement will be: rubygem(sqlite3) and that breaks installations that have been working before.
My quick and dirty solution is to change it to:

%if (100%{?fedora} < 15 || 100%{?rhel} < 6)
Requires:       rubygem(sqlite3) 
%else 
Requires:       rubygem(sqlite3-ruby) 
%endif 

This will make it work again in CentOS.

As extra info, in CentOS when testing these values I get:

>  rpm --eval 'F = XXX%{?fedora} EL = XXX%{?rhel}'
F = XXX EL = XXX

Ok, so the last suggestion didn't seem to fix it for everyone (as discussed on the IRC)...
I think it would be nice if we could recap what is exactly the problem and the affected versions. This is not clear now...

The important point is that the default situation should be the previous working one where:
Requires: rubygem(sqlite3-ruby)

In RHEL5 and CentOS5 machines here I see these variables are not defined.

[root@server ~]# cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)
Kernel \r on an \m

[root@server ~]# rpm --eval 'F = 0%{?fedora} EL = 0%{?rhel}'
F = 0 EL = 0

On both I see "rubygem-sqlite3-ruby" available, so the proposed default value work:
Requires: rubygem(sqlite3-ruby)

RPM test files, located at http://fenris02.fedorapeople.org/foreman/

Please let me know if they work for you. (Both f15 and el5 are there, choose the one that matches your install)
