RPM Build

Install the 'rpm-build' package via RPM command or via YUM

In my example I installed via YUM

[root@server1 ~]# yum install rpm-build* -y

Make a collaborative directory ‘SOURCES’ & ‘SPECS’ in rpmbuild in the home directory and make a directory ‘test-0.1’.

[root@server1 ~]# mkdir -p rpmbuild/SOURCES

[root@server1 ~]# mkdir -p rpmbuild/SPECS

[root@server1 ~]# mkdir test-0.1

Write the simple scripts in three different files like ‘test1’, ‘test2’, ‘test3’.

[root@server1 ~]# vim test-0.1/test1

                             #!/bin/bash

                             echo “Hi this is the RPM”

                             :wq

[root@server1 ~]# vim test-0.1/test2

                             #!/bin/bash

                             echo “developed by”

                             :wq

[root@server1 ~]# vim test-0.1/test3

                             #!/bin/bash

                             echo “BOLT India”

                             :wq

Create the gzip for the directory test-0.1

[root@server1 ~]# tar -cjvf test-0.1.tar.gz test-0.1/

Copy the test-0.1.tar.gz to ‘SOURCES’ directory.

[root@server1~]# cp test-0.1.tar.gz rpmbuild/SOURCES/

Now the ‘somefile.spec’ file automatically created in ‘SPECS’ directory.

[root@server1~]# vim rpmbuild/SPECS/test.spec

This RPM is built by BOLT India.

ESC

wq!

Now run the ‘RPMBUILD’ command to create the RPM.

[root@server1~]# rpmbuild -ba rpmbuild/SPECS/test.spec

This command will create and ‘RPMS/SRPMS’ directories which will store your ‘rpms/srpms’ file.

Note: Now you can install this rpm stored in '~/rpmbuild/RPMS/test-0.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm' and after installation it will create some files and directories according to 'test.spec' file.

/root/bin

/root/bin/test1

/root/bin/test2

/root/bin/test3

Now if you want to sign the RPM.

[root@server1~]# gpg --gen-key

It will create public and private keys.

[root@server1~]# gpg --list-key

It will show you all public keys information.

[root@server1~]# gpg --list-secret-key

It will show you all secret keys information.

[root@server1~]# vim ~/.rpmmacros

%_gpg_name 8FA01F02

Copy your public Key ID.

[root@server1~]# rpm --addsign rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/test-0.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

To sign your RPM.

To verify the signature.

[root@server1~]# cp rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/test-0.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm /home/philip

[root@server1~]# gpg --export --armor public_key_id > /tmp/rpm.pub.key

[root@server1~]# su - philip

[philip@server1~]$ rpm --import /tmp/rpm.pub.key

[philip@server1~]$ rpm --checksig test-0.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
