faq-rpm

Supports building https://github.com/jzelinskie/faq as an srpm/rpm

Building:

rpmbuild

Requirements:

• rpmbuild
• gcc, make
• go >= 1.11
• jq-devel >= 1.6

First fetch the sources for faq for the SRPM to build:

Using spec tool (available via rpmdev-tools package):

spectool -g -R faq.spec

You can also download it them directly via rpmbuild:

rpmbuild --undefine=_disable_source_fetch -bp faq.spec

Build the source rpm, and binary:

rpmbuild -ba faq.spec

If you want to build just the source RPM:

rpmbuild -bs faq.spec

Mock

Using mock has advantages over calling rpmbuild directly, like running in an isolated chroot, and the fact that it installs all the build dependencies for the RPM automatically.

Requirements:

• mock
• rpmbuild

First, download the sources, and build the srpm using the instructions above.

Then use mock to build the rpm:

mock --enable-network --rebuild $HOME/rpmbuild/SRPMS/faq-0.0.4-1.fc29.src.rpm

If you want to build for different OS versions, pass the -r flag to change the profile used to make the chroot:

mock -r epel-7-x86_64 --enable-network --rebuild $HOME/rpmbuild/SRPMS/faq-0.0.4-1.fc29.src.rpm
