# Building RPMs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `Makefile` contains steps that will build RPMs using the locally-configured `rpmbuild` environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, a better approach is to use [mock](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/wiki) which ensures all packages are built in a standard, reproducible environment, and also allows building for targets other than that of the local machine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The steps to build RPMs with mock are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Create tarball + generate spec file from template
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
cd packaging/rpm
|
||
|
|
make clean && make buildtargz
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Create SRPM from tarball and spec file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
mock -r epel-7-x86_64 --buildsrpm --spec qpsmtpd.spec --sources build
|
||
|
|
mv /var/lib/mock/epel-7-x86_64/result/*.src.rpm build
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Build RPMs from SRPM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
mock -r epel-7-x86_64 build/*.src.rpm
|
||
|
|
mv /var/lib/mock/epel-7-x86_64/result/*.rpm build
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This builds packages named using the content of the `PACKAGE`, `VERSION`, and `RELEASE` files in the `packaging/rpm` directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These can be overridden on the command-line when building the tarball.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, to append the local git commit hash to the `RELEASE`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
make clean && make buildtargz RELEASE="$(<"RELEASE").$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will produce a tarball named something like `qpsmtpd-0.96-1.83b6aaf.tar.gz`
