NFPM is a simple, 0-dependencies, `deb`, `rpm` and `apk` packager.
|
|
|
|
## Why
|
|
|
|
While [fpm][] is great, for me, it is a bummer that it depends on `ruby`, `tar`
|
|
and other softwares.
|
|
|
|
I wanted something that could be used as a binary and/or as a library and that
|
|
was really simple.
|
|
|
|
So I decided to create NFPM: a **simpler**, **0-dependency**,
|
|
**as-little-assumptions-as-possible** alternative to fpm.
|
|
|
|
## NFPM is Not FPM
|
|
|
|
This is a subtle way of saying it wont have all features, nor all
|
|
formats that fpm has: it is supposed to be simpler.
|
|
|
|
And that's OK!, most of us don't need all those features most of the time.

## How does it work?
|
|
|
|
You create a YAML file with the definition of what you need, run the `nfpm`
|
|
binary, and it takes care of everything.
|
|
|
|
The same config file can be used to create both the RPM and Deb packages.
