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.
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
