rpm - RedHat Package Manager
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
rpm is the package format used on RedHat Enterprise (RHEL), Fedora, CentOS, and
|
|
a number of other Linux distributions.
|
|
|
|
You may be familiar with tools such as `dnf` and `yum` for installing packages from repositories. The package files that these tools install are rpms.
|
|
|
|
Supported Uses in FPM
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
fpm supports input and output for rpms. This means you can read an rpm and convert it to a different output type (such as a `dir` or `deb`). It also means you can write an rpm.
|
|
|
|
Arguments when used as input type
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For the sample command reading an rpm as input and outputting a debian package::
|
|
|
|
fpm -s rpm -t deb file.rpm
|
|
|
|
The the argument is used as a file and read as an rpm.
|
|
|
|
Sample Usage
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Create a package with no files but having dependencies::
|
|
|
|
% fpm -s empty -t rpm -n example --depends nginx
|
|
Created package {:path=>"example-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm"}
|
|
|
|
We can now inspect the package with rpm's tools if you wish::
|
|
|
|
% rpm -qp example-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm -i
|
|

Fun Examples
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Changing an existing RPM
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
fpm supports rpm as both an input and output type (`-s` and `-t` flags), so you can use this to modify an existing rpm.
|
|
|
|
For example, let's create an rpm to use for our example::
|
|
|
|
% fpm -s empty -t rpm -n example
|
|
Created package {:path=>"example-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm"}
|
|
|
|
Lets say we made a mistake and want to rename the package::
|
|
|
|
% fpm -s rpm -t rpm -n newname example-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
|
|
Created package {:path=>"newname-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm"}
|
|
|
|
And maybe the architecture is wrong. fpm defaulted to x86_64 (what fpm calls
|
|
"native"), and we really want what rpm calls "noarch"::
|
|
|
|
% fpm -s rpm -t rpm -a noarch newname-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
|
|
Created package {:path=>"newname-1.0-1.noarch.rpm"}
|
|
|
|
