1 # Building RPM packages for OpenAFS
3 The OpenAFS source tree contains an RPM spec file for building RPM packages.
4 Recent versions of OpenAFS have makefile targets to build the source
5 distribution tarballs and a source RPM package (srpm). After creating these
6 files, run the `rpmbuild` tool to create create the binary RPM packages.
8 The following commands show how to build RPM packages from a git checkout. The
9 tools will create RPM packages from annotated git tags. Checkout a tag for the
10 desired version, then generated the source rpm, then run rpmbuild to build the
11 binaries RPM package files.
13 $ git clone git://git.openafs.org/openafs.git
15 $ git checkout openafs-stable-<version>
18 $ make dist # not make dest !
20 $ rpmbuild --rebuild -ba --define "_topdir $(pwd)/rpmbuild" packages/openafs-<version>-1.src.rpm
22 The packages will be created in the `rpmbuild/RPMS` directory. See the RPM
23 spec file in src/packaging/RedHat for the OpenAFS `--define` options.
