The %php_pear_gen_filelist macro, maintained by Christian Wittmer, is really handy for packaging php pear software packages. It generates rpmlint-happy filelists and if you manage to get the dependencies right, packaging pear stuff for rpm is really a no-brainer. But the standard recipe for using this macro has one drawback: It’s ignorant of installed 3rd party roles and channels. 3rd party pear packages which depend on their channel being registered normally fail.
The workaround is easy: Copy the channel file to the build location.

Two parts are marked black: First you have to include the channel package with “BuildRequires:”. Second marked part copies the channel file from the installed location to the buildroot location.
Feel free to reuse or criticise this solution.
