%changelog

* Wed Jan 25 2014 Builder <builder@...> 0.1

- First build.

folder name that include your files in BUILD directory is: sailfishquickim-0.1-1.arm

P.S.
0.1-1:
0.1 = number of Version
1 = number of Release

If you change this numbers in folder name, also you need change them in the .spec file.

Good luck ;)

Re: [GUIDE for noobs] RPM packaging directly on your Jolla phone.

T.Mavica, detailed explanation for you ;)

1. Connect your phone to WinSCP via SSH connection and open Putty. How to here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92491
2. Run this command as ROOT:

Code:

mkdir -p /root/rpmbuild/{BUILD,BUILDROOT,RPMS/armv7hl,SPECS}

3. Download this files to your PC -> extract from ZIP and transfer folder named sailfishquickim-0.3-1.arm to /root/rpmbuild/BUILD on your phone.
3. Download this spec file to your PC -> transfer it to /root/rpmbuild/SPECS
4. Three commands for creating your package (as ROOT):

Code:

/bin/cp -rf /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/sailfishquickim-0.3-1.arm /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT

cd /root/rpmbuild

rpmbuild -bb SPECS/sailfishquickim.spec

5. Transfere it where you want, for example to Downloads folder:

Code:

/bin/cp -f /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/armv7hl/sailfishquickim-0.3-1.armv7hl.rpm /home/nemo/Downloads

6. Install your package from any File manger directly on the phone or as ROOT from terminal/Putty:

Code:

pkcon install-local -y /home/nemo/Downloads/sailfishquickim-0.3-1.armv7hl.rpm

7. Uninstall your package as ROOT:

Code:

pkcon remove sailfishquickim

Here is your last (new) package: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...-1.armv7hl.rpm

So, if you want to update your package, some steps:
1. Change version number of your folder, for example from sailfishquickim-0.3-1.arm to
sailfishquickim-0.4-1.arm or
sailfishquickim-0.3-2.arm

Where is:
0.3-1:
0.3 = number of Version
1 = number of Release

2. Change to the SAME version in the .spec file. For example:
From this:

Code:

Name:          sailfishquickim

Version:       0.3

Release:       1

to this:

Code:

Name:          sailfishquickim

Version:       0.4

Release:       1

or this:

Code:

Name:          sailfishquickim

Version:       0.3

Release:       2

3. Change your files inside sailfishquickim-0.3-1.arm folder to new files.
4. Create new RPM package

That's all :D

Re: [GUIDE for noobs] RPM packaging directly on your Jolla phone.

Hi Schturman,

wonder if you can help, after entering the line

Code:

rpmbuild -bb SPECS/myfirstpackage.spec

I get the following output;

Code:

[nemo@Jolla rpmbuild]$ rpmbuild -bb SPECS/myfirstpackage.spec

Processing files: myfirstpackage-0.1-1.armv7hl

error: File must begin with "/"

How do I proceed please?

Regards,

your %files section in spec file, all listed files must begin with /

Thanks NielDK, that worked, albeit I now have a different error from RPM build;

Code:

RPM build errors:

    Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:

   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/images/myfirstpackage.jpg

   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/myfirstpackage.ambience

   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds.index

   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds/myfirstpackage_Calendar.mp3

   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds/myfirstpackage_Clock.mp3

   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds/myfirstpackage_Email.mp3

   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds/myfirstpackage_IM.mp3

   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds/myfirstpackage_Ringtone.mp3

   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds/myfirstpackage_SMS.mp3

I'm a total noob when it comes to this, but I do want to learn. Why is the package not being compiled and would I be right in thinking when it is compiled , I should then find the package RPMS folder?

Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated NielDK.

Re: [GUIDE for noobs] RPM packaging directly on your Jolla phone.

post a full spec file and we will fix it ;)

Hi Schturman,
thanks, but for now, I'm trying to compile your file using your SPEC file, all as an experiment so I can see what is doing what before my eyes.
So, as yet, I have no SPEC file of my own, only yours.

NielDK kindly answered me and now I have got a bit further. It seems that a line or command in the SPEC file was causing the compiled RPM to get deleted - I'm in a right pickle!, but it's all good and is how I learn!

I'm starting again and hopefully this time, I will have an RPM file at the end of it! (I feel like I'm learning another language and not doing very well!)

Here is where I'm at now;

Code:

[root@Jolla rpmbuild]# rpmbuild -bb SPECS/myfirstpackage.spec                   Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/myfirstpackage-0.1-1.arm

Executing(%clean): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.C5rTfh

+ umask 022

+ cd /root/rpmbuild/BUILD

+ /bin/rm -rf /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/myfirstpackage-0.1-1.arm

+ exit 0

[root@Jolla rpmbuild]#

After the above, there is no RPM, only the created files. I'm a bit lost! :)

Regards,

Re: [GUIDE for noobs] RPM packaging directly on your Jolla phone.

It's good output! You will find created rpm file in: /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/armv7hl
just copy it to you Downloads folder...

Cool, it's good to know you think the output is good, however, I couldn't continue because no file existed at /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/armv7hl

I will try again, but now for some reason I am hitting permission problems with root/user - I must be doing something wrong, I'm sure I will get there, these journeys are often long for me! :D

Thanks Schturman, I'm sure I will be back with more questions!

EDIT - Twice I've tried now, the same output you say is good, but still no RPM being created/found in RPMS directory.

Regards,
