Creating basic installation RPM package is really easy. You just have to use rpmbuild command. rpmbuild will be applied to your source files and a RPM package will be created [all source files will be included in the RPM package]. Somewhere you need to specify the path of your source files. Just before creating the RPM package, your source files will be copied to a temporary location [termed as Build Root]. Actually, you need to write a spec file. rpmbuild will read that file to extract parameters and will act based on the parameter values.<\/p>\n
Summary: A summary description of the software.\nName: xyz\nVersion: 1.0.0\nRelease: 1\nGroup: System Environment\/Base\nBuildRoot: \/var\/tmp\/%{name}-buildroot\nPrefix:\/opt\/xyz\n%description\nDescription of your software\n%pre%prep%build%installrm -rf \/opt\/xyz\/$RPM_BUILD_ROOTmkdir -p \/opt\/xyz\/$RPM_BUILD_ROOT\/dir1mkdir -p \/opt\/xyz\/$RPM_BUILD_ROOT\/dir2cp -r your_source_files_path\/* \/opt\/xyz\/$RPM_BUILD_ROOT\/%post%cleanrm -rf \/opt\/xyz\/$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%files%defattr(-,root,root)\/opt\/xyz\/dir1\/opt\/xyz\/dir2<\/pre>\nIn the example, BuildRoot is assigned to: \/var\/tmp\/%{name}-buildroot. %install section is doing the building\/creation of the RPM package. From Summary to %description are the headers to specify different information as the names indicate. %install section is creating the directories needed and copying your source files to BuildRoot directory(cp -r your_source_files_path\/* \/opt\/xyz\/$RPM_BUILD_ROOT\/). %files section specifies where rpm package will install your software.%clean section just cleans the BuildRoot directory after the RPM package is created.<\/p>\n
Just a note: As I mentioned Prefix to be \/opt\/xyz, I provided \/opt\/xyz in the paths. If you keep Prefix to be null, then you need to remove \/opt\/xyz from the paths. You can place shell commands under %pre section. These command will run just before the RPM package is being installed(using rpm -i command). Under %post section, you can also place some shell commands that will run immediately after the software installation(using rpm -i command). You can use %preor %post section for operations like creating databases, users, and assigning permissions<\/p>\n
This may not be 100% perfect. I did not test it on any system, but it should be almost ok. For another example, please visit: http:\/\/www.redhat.com\/magazine\/002dec04\/features\/betterliving-part2\/<\/a><\/p>\nThe spec file should have name of type name-version_release.spec. After creating the spec file, run the command rpmbuild -ba the_spec_file_name. It will create rpm packages under \/usr\/src\/redhat\/BUILD\/x86_64 and \/usr\/src\/redhat\/SRPMS. You need to copy the spec file under \/usr\/src\/redhat\/SPECS\/<\/p>\n
To install the created RPM package, use rpm -ivh rpmpackagename.rpm command. Look %files section to know where the software will be installed. You can change the path using commands like:rpm -ivh –prefix \/opt\/rty\/ rpmpackagename.rpm. Check our guide on rpm command From: http:\/\/sitestree.com\/?p=4751
