@email2liyang:

should change haproxy-1.5.6.tar.gz to haproxy-1.5.3.tar.gz, otherwise it will report error

Huh?

@JamesMGreene The RPM pulled from GIT on line 11 uses a property to build haproxy. That property is set to 1.5.3 and this script pulls 1.5.6 from haproxy site.

Ah, thanks for clarifying, @johnmark13.
