Add Fedora RPM specfile #814

Closed brndd closed 2 years ago

brndd commented 2 years ago

This is a specfile for packaging edb into an RPM for Fedora. Other distros (eg. OpenSUSE) are untested; it certainly won't build on OpenSUSE due to missing dependencies.

I've used this to package edb on COPR (the Fedora user repository) for personal use, but figured I might as well put it here too in case it interests you. With this it should be relatively simple to eg. set up a COPR that automatically builds every GitHub release as soon as you push them, using COPR's webhook functionality.

Building the RPM locally using this is relatively simple:

  1. Run rpmdev-setuptree to set up the rpmbuild directory in your ~/.
  2. Move edb.spec to ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/
  3. Build the RPM with cd ~/rpmbuild && rpmbuild -ba SPECS/edb.spec

Thanks!

Oh, I should mention: currently this only builds on x86_64 because of this line: ExclusiveArch: %{ix86} x86_64. AArch32 and 32-bit x86 aren't supported by Fedora, but if edb ever gets AArch64 support then this specfile should be updated to match that.

Good to know, technically edb DOES already have AArch64 support, but it probably could use a bit of improvement
