This is a collection of some rpm related tools distributed under GPL3+/GPLv2+/MIT.
- buildsrpm: Build source rpm from given rpm spec file and sources
- identrpm: Identify given rpm and print package metadata by accessing RHN/Satellite. It requires swapi.
- rk-depgraph: Make an image of RPM dependency graph w/ using graphviz.
- rk-fake_yum: Fake yum
- rk-list_errata_for_releases: List errata for each RHEL release. It requires swapi.
- rk-make_rpmdb: Make a RPM (metadata-only) DB from the rpm list.
- rk-rpmset-optimizer: Make an optimized RPM set to install from given profile data.
- rk-updateinfo and rk-updateinfo-legacy: RPM Updateinfo (errata) analyzer. rk-updateinfo-legacy requires swapi.
- rpm2json: Inspect RPM and dump metadata in JSON format.
- rpmdb_migrate.sh: RPM DB migration tool.
- rpmfy: A simple script to make a RPM from files.
- swapi: SpaceWalk API accessing tool like spacewalk-api, spacecmd's raw command.
- yum-surrogate: Surrogate yum execution in another hosts.
- yum_makelistcache: Make yum cache periodically to do some analysys.
Some of them, especially tools of which filename starts with the prefix 'rk-' are very experimental and may not work in your environment.
Add to this, the following tools require access to RHN hosted or RH Satellite to work:
- identrpm
- rk-list_errata_for_releases
- rk-updateinfo-legacy
- swapi
buildsrpm is a tiny tool to build src.rpm from the RPM spec.
buildsrpm looks into the given RPM spec and tries to find out the URL of SOURCE0. Then it tries to download the SOURCE0 from the URL and build src.rpm.
Here is an example:
ssato@localhost% buildsrpm -h
Usage: buildsrpm [Options...] RPM_SPEC
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-D, --debug Debug mode
-w WORKDIR, --workdir=WORKDIR
Working dir to search source0
ssato@localhost% grep ' http://' mscgen.spec
URL: http://www.mcternan.me.uk/mscgen
Source0: http://www.mcternan.me.uk/mscgen/software/%{name}-src-%{version}.tar.gz
ssato@localhost% buildsrpm -D -w /tmp/mscgen mscgen.spec
INFO:root:rpm spec is /home/ssato/repos/public/github.com/ssato/misc.git/rpmspecs/mscgen.spec
INFO:root:Set workdir to /tmp/mscgen

identrpm can identify given RPMs and complement various package metadata with the package information gotten by accessing the RHN or RHN Satellite.
Here is an example:
$ identrpm --format "{name},{version},{release},{arch},{epoch}" autoconf-2.59-12.noarch
autoconf,2.59,12,noarch,0
$ identrpm --format "{name}: {summary}" autoconf-2.59-12
autoconf: A GNU tool for automatically configuring source code.
Note
identrpm delegates swapi to query RHN to get necessary package metadata, so swapi must be configured when running identrpm.
rpm2json just query the rpm database for given RPM file and output metada of the RPM file in JSON format.
Here is an example:
ssato@localhost% rpm2json
Usage: rpm2json [OPTION ...] RPM_0 [RPM_1 ...]
Examples:
rpm2json Server/cups-1.3.7-11.el5.i386.rpm
rpm2json -T name,sourcerpm,rpmversion Server/*openjdk*.rpm
rpm2json --show-tags
ssato@localhost% rpm2json -h
Usage: rpm2json [OPTION ...] RPM_0 [RPM_1 ...]
Examples:
rpm2json Server/cups-1.3.7-11.el5.i386.rpm
rpm2json -T name,sourcerpm,rpmversion Server/*openjdk*.rpm
rpm2json --show-tags
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--show-tags Show all possible rpm tags
-o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT
output filename [stdout]
-T TAGS, --tags=TAGS Comma separated rpm tag list to get or "almost" to get
almost data dump (except for "headerimmutable").
[name,version,release,arch,epoch,sourcerpm]
--blacklist=BLACKLIST
Comma separated tags list not to get data
[headerimmutable]
-H, --human-readable Output formatted results.
ssato@localhost% rpm2json -H /tmp/mscgen/mscgen-0.20-2.fc18.src.rpm

It takes some time to make a rpm but should be better, I think.
- python setup.py srpm
- mock -r <target_build_dist> dist/SRPMS/packagemaker-*.src.rpm
It's easier than the above but only possible to make a rpm for build host.
- python setup.py rpm
- Write tests
- Fix PEP8 warnings and errors
sqlminus.py (rpmkit.extras.sqlminus) was removed from this dist and now maintained at https://gist.github.com/ssato/5773239 instead.
filelist2rpm.py and xpack.py were removed as these are replaced with its successor, pmaker.py
pmaker.py: I created other decicated git repo for it and renamed to packagemaker (pmaker). This script (legacy version now) will be kept for a while but will not be mantained any more. Please look at the new repository of packagemaker (pmaker) at:
