Release deb/rpm packages #165

Open benmccann opened 8 years ago

It would really ease installation to have deb/rpm packages available. I'm struggling quite a bit to get fpm installed on RHEL6, but even for users without this difficulty it would be quite a nice convenience

For whoever may struggle on this:

git clone git@github.com:StackExchange/blackbox.git
PATH=~/blackbox/bin:$PATH
#now you can use blackbox

but I agree, it would be nice to have a deb release

+1 to keep this alive. It would be really great to have an RPM package available. I too have had issues getting 'fpm' installed on CentOS.

fpm is installed as a ruby "gem". So, you generally won't find a package for it.

In Puppet I use this:

  ensure_packages(['rubygems', 'ruby-devel'])
  package { 'fpm':
    ensure   => 'latest',
    provider => 'gem',
    require  => Package['ruby-devel', 'rubygems'],
  }

Would Packagecloud be an option? They have some free options for open source software.

I'm open to volunteers stepping up to take this on and deciding what to do.
