### Goals
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-02-17 23:04:34 +01:00
|
|
|
* be simple to use
|
|
|
|
|
* provide packaging for the most common linux packaging systems (at very least deb and rpm)
|
|
|
|
|
* be distributed as a single binary
|
|
|
|
|
* reproducible results
|
|
|
|
|
* depend on the fewer external things as possible (namely `rpmbuild`)
|
|
|
|
|
* generate packages based on yaml files (maybe also json and toml?)
|
|
|
|
|
* be possible to use it as a lib in other go projects (namely goreleaser itself)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first steps are to run `nfpm init` to initialize a config file and edit
|
|
|
|
|
the generated file according to your needs:

|
|
|
|
2018-02-17 23:04:34 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next step is to run `nfpm pkg --target mypkg.deb`.
|
|
|
|
|
NFPM will guess which packager to use based on the target file extension.

And that's it!

### Status
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-02-17 23:04:34 +01:00
|
|
|
* both deb and rpm packaging are working but there are some missing features;
|
|
|
|
|
* we need a suite of acceptance tests to make sure everything works.
