[How to] Creating rpm file from the source (tar.gz) file directly on the Jolla tablet/phone ?

Hi.
Can someone explain/teach me how to correctly create .rpm file from the source (tar.gz) directly on the Jolla tablet/phone, if it possible at all ? I don't have/use SDK...

For example, I want to create purple-facebook package for tablet, on the tablet itself.
Here is the source https://github.com/dequis/purple-fac...g/3d30d24fdbef that @nodevel used to create package for the phone.
Usualy I use a simple tamplate for creating packages on the phone and tablet without using a source, I just create a full path with files like:

Code:

/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/homerefresh-0.1-4.i386

And inside it /usr/share etc...

Here I wrote a guide how to do this: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92963 by using a simple .spec file inside /root/rpmbuild/SPECS, for example:

Code:

Name:          myfirstpackage

Version:       0.1

Release:       1

Summary:       My First package

Group:         System/Tools

Vendor:        Schturman

Distribution:  SailfisfOS

Packager: Schturman <your@mail.com>

URL:           www.yoursite.com

License:       GPL

 

%description

This is my first package of custom Ambience...

 

%files

/usr/share/ambience/*

 

%post

systemctl-user restart ambienced.service

 

%postun

if [ $1 = 0 ]; then

    // Do stuff specific to uninstalls

    rm -rf /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage

    systemctl-user restart ambienced.service

  else

    if [ $1 = 1 ]; then

    // Do stuff specific to upgrades

    echo "It's just upgrade"

    fi

fi

 

%changelog

* Sun Mar 16 2014 Builder <builder@...> 0.1

- First build.

As far as I understand for creating from source file it will not work in this way. I need put tar.gz file to /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES and create correct .spec file for this.

Can someone create a template for this ? Full step by step guide ?
Thanks

Re: [How to] Creating rpm file from the source (tar.gz) file directly on the Jolla tablet/phone ?

Basicalky what you are missing, in the spec file:

if the tar.gz file in SOURCES is myfile.tar.gz

Source: myfile.tar.gz

It's not only Source: myfile.tar.gz... From what I have read, for example here: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-bu...spec-file.html Almost all sections under %description is completely different from my .spec file... This is a reason that I asked for a template that should work at least in most cases... And if possible with description like:

Code:

%prep

#This section will remove previous version of your package and will unpack a new version from your myfile.tar.gz

rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_DIR/cdplayer-1.0

zcat $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/cdplayer-1.0.tgz | tar -xvf -

or it should be:

Code:

%prep

%setup

?

And so on...

Code:

%build

make 



%install

make install

And what I need to write under %files section ?:

Code:

%files

?

And what with Install/Uninstall Scripts ? where I need put them ? under which section ? If need it at all ? How to know if need to be here ?

Code:

%pre



%post



%preun



%postun

The %clean Section.. Need or not ? How I know what to write here ?

%changelog, under or before %clean Section ?

After this a creating rpm ?

Code:

rpm -ba cdplayer-1.0.spec

Well everything is explained quite nice in your link.
You dont build with rpm, you use rpmbuild ;)
I also suggest looking in build.merproject.org to get ideas on how to use the spec file.

Re: [How to] Creating rpm file from the source (tar.gz) file directly on the Jolla tablet/phone ?

Thanks @Nieldk, but it explained quite nice for people who understand this stuff and not really for noobies like me ;)
Before I posted here my question for template/explanation, I have read this site and few other...
Thanks anyway.

OK. Later this weekend, I can make some template. No worries, but, expect any template to not work.
You will quickly learn about dependencies and other things that needs to be addressed in the spec file.

Thank you! Waiting to try it :)

Nieldk, Hi. Any news ?

Ups, went to the universe.
Here is a 'sample' spec file.
You will probably learn fast that changes are needed ;)

Code:

Name: sample

Version: 1.0

Release: 1%{?dist}

Summary: A sample application

License: GPL

URL: http://www.sample.org

Source0: http://www.sample.org/samle/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz



BuildRequires: somelibrariesthat are needed

Requires: somerequireddependenciesforapplication



%description

This is my sample application that does nothing.



%prep

%setup -q -n



%build

%configure

make %{?_smp_mflags}



%check

make check



%install

rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT



%files

%doc README

%{_bindir}/*

%{_sbindir}/*

%{_mandir}/man1/*



%changelog

* Mon Mar 31 2016 John Doe <jdoe@example.com> 1.0

- Initial release

Re: [How to] Creating rpm file from the source (tar.gz) file directly on the Jolla tablet/phone ?

Thanks Nieldk! I will try it.
But I have a few questions:
1. Release: 1%{?dist}
What this 1%{?dist} ? It mean the spec file will read this number from source package ? Or I can just write the release number that I want ?

2. Source0: http://www.sample.org/samle/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
If I already have tar.gz file, can I just put it to /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES folder and write it as is, for example:

Code:

Source0: /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/purple-facebook-3d30d24fdbef.tar.gz

3. BuildRequires: somelibrariesthat are needed
How I check what libraries my package need ?

4. Requires: somerequireddependenciesforapplication
How I check what requires my package need ?

5. make %{?_smp_mflags}
What it mean ? I need leave it as you wrote ? or I need change it {?_smp_mflags} to something ?

Thanks
