grossws/makerpm repository overview

⁠Info

Dockerfiles⁠ with RPM build environment for CentOS⁠ 6 and 7. Used for automated builds on docker hub⁠.

Both spec files and SRPMs are supported.

Based on official centos image.

⁠Usage

⁠Layout for building from spec files

Place SPECS directory with spec file(s) into some base directory (called <base-dir> below).

If package requires some local (with non-url source) files, place them into <base-dir>/SOURCES/.

⁠Layout for building from SRPMs

Place *.src.rpm somewhere into <base-dir>.

⁠Building

docker run -it --rm -v <base-dir>:/data grossws/makerpm:6 pkg1.spec path/to/srpm/relative/to/<base-dir>/pkg2.src.rpm ...
docker run -it --rm -v <base-dir>:/data grossws/makerpm:7 pkg1.spec path/to/srpm/relative/to/<base-dir>/pkg2.src.rpm ...

Resulting rpms will be stored in <base-dir>/REPO/centos/$releasever/$basearch/ (only x86_64 is supported). SRPMs will be in <base-dir>/REPO/centos/$releasever/SRPMS/ (they are produced only when building from spec).

Packages are built in same order as they appear in command line. Any package can depend on previuos ones.

⁠Dependencies

Dependencies are resolved against standart CentOS repos and EPEL⁠.

To disable EPEL either remove /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo file or epel-release package.

To add custom repos just add them to /etc/yum.repos.d/ or install as packages.

⁠Internals

makerpm.sh script:

• Ensures clean rpmbuild tree for build user (makerpm);
• Maintains internal temporary repo where all build packages are deployed after build;
• Creates output layout (like <base-dir>/repo/centos/7/x86_64/);
• Installs build dependencies for spec/SRPM currently built;
• Fetches remote sources for package built from spec (using spectool -g -R <pkg.spec>);
• Builds package (using rpmbuild -ba <pkg.spec> or rpmbuild --rebuild <pkg.src.rpm>);
• Copies build RPMs and SRPMs to appropriate output dirs and to temporary repo;
• Invokes createrepo on output dirs.
