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.
The main subsections of this wiki:
Quick start: Read this if you would like to start using rpkg in your project.
Spec templates from scratch: Learn how to use rpkg and its spec templates in a quick and easy way.
Macro reference: Learn all about macros that you can use in spec templates.
Version and tag generation: Learn more about how rpkg generates package versions and tag names.
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 ;).
