Building RPM Packages

The Bcfg2 distribution contains two different spec files.

Building from a Release Tarball

1. Be sure to check the Prerequisites? page.
2. Download the release tarball that you want to base your packages on from the Downloads page.
3. Run rpmbuild -ta <name of tarball here>.
4. On CentOS/RHEL, the resulting RPMs will be in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/ and the SRPMs in /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/.
5. Example commands to build RPMs for bcfg2-1.1.1 on CentOS 5.5:

      $ cd /tmp
      $ wget ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/bcfg/bcfg2-1.1.1.tar.gz
      ...
      $ rpmbuild -ta bcfg2-1.1.1.tar.gz
      ...
      $ ls /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/
      bcfg2-1.1.1-0.1.noarch.rpm  bcfg2-server-1.1.1-0.1.noarch.rpm
   

Building from a git checkout

• Enter the redhat/ directory in the working copy
• Run make
• The resulting RPMs will be in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/, SRPMs in /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS, and will have the VCS tag appended
