How to Install

Download the RPM package for RPMS Install with the RPM command with sudo or as root:

rpm -ivh RPMR-1.0-0.x86_64.rpm

How to Use

RPMR will place two main scripts within the /usr/local/bin directory:

  • rpmbuild-setup.sh
  • create-spec.sh

Run rpmbuild-setup first:

rpmbuild-setup

Follow the onscreen options to set up the rpmbuild environment with RPMR.

Then enter the project directory of your choice (default path is ~/rpmr/projectdir/<your_project_directory>) and run the create-spec script:

cd ~/rpmr/projecdir/<my_project_dir>
create-spec

Follow the onscreen prompts to ensure your .spec file gets created with the desired options for your RPM package.

Run the last command from the create-spec output. Example:

rpmbuild -bb /home/jeff/rpmr/rpmbuild/SPECS/RPMR-1.0-0.spec

Lastly, if you want to delete all the directories and files created by RPMR in the rpmbuild directory (default is ~/rpmr/rpmbuild) run the clean-rpmbuild.sh script that gets placed into your home directory:

source ~/clean-rpmbuild.sh 

Note

You can manually edit the .spec file in the rpmbuild directory before running the rpmbuild command
