Create .rpm file

To package the Knit Editor for Fedora .rpm file can be created. There are various ways to create these.

• [x] create .rpm file
• [x] integrate it in the automatic build
• [ ] deploy to github using travis

@niccokunzmann I am working on creating the rpm file for knit editor. I would like your help in the spec file for building the rpm- https://gist.github.com/souravsingh/736cad33b95b11590a1ac4fcda108c0d

@souravsingh it looks all fine. I do not know how to create an rpm file automatically. You can put in anything that seems right to you. Do you follow a tutorial and are stuck at a specific point? You can also use your name as the packager - after all, you work on it. Do you use a specific service? I can grant you administrative access so you can use the github integrations and build when pushed, ... Is there something specific you can ask me?

@niccokunzmann I am making use of the Open Build Service to create the rpm file. Since the service requires a spec file to be uploaded to server for creating the rpm file, I was working on writing one for the same.

I have an Idea: You can create an "rpm-build" folder and then put everything inside of it. When you have something new, I will look at it and merge it. You can create many small pull-requests. You add interesting things you found e.g. on Stackoverflow to a README.md inside the folder. What do you think?

Great. If you need help, automating the build by push, let me know.

I learnt we can make use of bdist_rpm command along with python setup.py to create the RPM packages. So We should only update the install scripts and it should work.

@souravsingh looks like I created an other error: https://travis-ci.org/fossasia/kniteditor/jobs/165931868#L614 I removed this: https://travis-ci.org/fossasia/kniteditor/jobs/165931298#L537 by removing the -m option.

[souravsingh]

@niccokunzmann Is the issue fixed?

[niccokunzmann]

@souravsingh I want to close the issue when there is an upload to https://github.com/fossasia/kniteditor/releases with the .rpm file. I believe, therefore we need a new release configuration for travis which uploads everything. Do you know the path of the .rpm file?

[souravsingh]

@niccokunzmann I checked the creation of RPM for kniteditor. I noticed that the RPM file gets stored in \dist directory.

[niccokunzmann]

@souravsingh Great! When I have time, I will also try the upload and see how it works. If you like, you can do that, too.
