  • If you are looking for an easy way to make installation packages out of your application sources…

  • If you want to make free and open-source software out there easily available to end users…

  • If you like configurability without limits…

Preview

rpkg is an rpm packaging utility that you can use to maintain your application sources. It is designed to work on top of Git repositories but it can also handle just any plain directory content. It will allow you to easily transform raw sources into an rpm source package that you can build (also by using rpkg) in a public build system, which will produce packages that any user can install and start using afterwards.

Installation

rpkg is available on all Fedora platforms. You can run:

# dnf install rpkg

to install it.

If you would like to install rpkg directly from the upstream sources, run:

$ git clone https://pagure.io/rpkg-util
$ cd rpkg-util
$ ./rpkg local
$ sudo dnf -C install /tmp/rpkg/rpkg-util-*/noarch/rpkg*.noarch.rpm

But the easier way to always get the latest, greatest rpkg is:

# dnf copr enable clime/rpkg-util
# dnf install rpkg

You need to have dnf-plugins-core installed ;).
