rpmrebuild's install
As rpmrebuild is designed to work with rpm, it is packaged in rpm format.
which file to choose
- rpmrebuild-{version}.noarch.rpm : is an rpm package for current linux distributions, which use rpm 4.x releases. this is the method to use at first
- rpmrebuild-{version}.src.rpm : is a source package
- rpmrebuild-{version}.tgz : contains the software code
- rpmrebuild-{version}.tgz.sig : will allow to check the origin of the code
check packages
all the rpm packages are signed with my
gpg key, so you should verify
the downloaded files with :
- for rpm packages, the command
rpm -K rpmrebuild*.rpm
- for sources, the command
gpg --verify rpmrebuild-{version}.tgz.sig rpmrebuild-{version}.tgz
how to install
It is coded in shell script, so it does not depends from an os architecture or libraries
if you are using rpm version 4
It should install anywhere with the following command :
rpm -Uvh rpmrebuild-{version}.noarch.rpm
if you are using rpm version 3
You will have to build your rpm package, with the command :
rpm -tb rpmrebuild-{version}.tgz,
then install the package with
rpm -Uvh rpmrebuild-{version}.noarch.rpm
what if dependencies problem occurs
you can build a package for your own distribution, using one of the following method :
rpmbuild --rebuild rpmrebuild-{version}.src.rpm (for rpm 4)rpmbuild -tb rpmrebuild-{version}.tgz (for rpm 4)rpm -tb rpmrebuild-{version}.tgz, (for rpm 3)- if nothing is working, please send a bug report
