FPM::Rake

FPM is a great tool to build and convert between a variety of package formats.

Rake is a great tool to automate Ruby build and release tasks.

FPM::Rake provides a Rake task for converting a gem into an RPM package using fpm.

Currently only RPM is supported. Please consider implementing and submitting tasks for other package formats supported by fpm.

The RPM configuration is currently very specify to my ruby1.9 setup, I would appreciate input on how to expose fpm's many configuration options to users of the Rake task.

No relation to curzonj's Fpm::Rake.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'fpm-rake'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install fpm-rake

Usage

In your Rakefile add

require "fpm/rake_tasks"

To package your gem itself in RPM format run

rake rpm:build

To package each of your gem's dependencies into RPM format run

rake rpm:dependencies

To remove all .rpm files from the pkg directory run

rake rpm:clean
