RPM Spec for Nomad

Tries to follow the packaging guidelines from Fedora.

• Binary: /usr/bin/nomad
• Config: /etc/nomad/

Heavily borrowed from https://github.com/stevendborrelli/consul-template-rpm.

Build

If you have vagrant installed, then just clone this repo and vagrant up.

If not, build the RPM as a non-root user from your home directory:

• Check out this repo. Seriously - check it out. Nice.

  git clone <this_repo_url>
  

• Install rpmdevtools and mock.

  sudo yum install rpmdevtools mock
  

• Set up your rpmbuild directory tree.

  rpmdev-setuptree
  

• Link the spec file and sources.

  ln -s $HOME/nomad-rpm/SPECS/nomad.spec rpmbuild/SPECS/
  find $HOME/nomad-rpm/SOURCES -type f -exec ln -s {} rpmbuild/SOURCES/ \;
  

• Download remote source files

  spectool -g -R rpmbuild/SPECS/nomad.spec
  

• Build the RPM

  rpmbuild -ba rpmbuild/SPECS/nomad.spec
  

Result

One RPM for the Nomad binary.
