🚨 UNMAINTAINED! 🚨
This crate is no longer maintained. For more information, please see the maintenance status issue.
We recommend either of the following as alternatives:
cargo-rpm
cargo subcommand for building .rpm releases of Rust projects.
Requirements
- Rust 1.41+
Installation
Install cargo rpm by running: cargo install cargo-rpm.
Configuring a crate
To configure your crate for RPM releases, run cargo rpm init
This will create a .rpm/YOURCRATENAME.spec file which is passed to the
rpmbuild command. Though the generated spec should work out of the box,
it may need some customization if the resulting RPM has dependencies or
files other than target binaries.
You can also specify the --output argument to save the .spec file into
a different directory. However, you will then also need to add config entry
in the [package.metadata.rpm] section of the Cargo.toml file pointing to
that directory, or run build command with --config argument.
For more information on spec files, see: http://ftp.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-build-creating-spec-file.html
Building RPMs
Once your crate has been configured, run cargo rpm build to build release
targets for your project and package them into an RPM.
If you encounter errors, you may need to see more information about why
rpmbuild failed. Run cargo rpm build -v to enable verbose mode.
Finished .rpm files will be placed in target/release/rpmbuild/RPMs/<arch>.
You can also specify the --output argument (or add the output entry in Cargo.lock)
to change the location of .rpm file. It can either be a file or a directory:
- If the arg value ends in a
/(or if it is already an existent directory), the value is treated as a directory path and rpm is created inside it with the default naming scheme (<name>-<version>-<release>.<arch>.rpm). - For other arg values, the value is treated as a file path (the default naming scheme won't be followed in this case).
- Both relative and absolute paths work as input (relative paths will be normalized to
be absolute when passing over to
rpmbuild). - Parent directories in the path are auto-created, if not present (this is handled by
rpmbuild).
