Add RPM spec file #259

Closed adamthiede closed 3 years ago

adamthiede commented 3 years ago

I made a basic spec file for packaging in RPM-based distributions. When new versions of amfora are created the spec file should be updated at the top (Version: 1.8.0 currently) and the bottom (new entry under %changelog). It builds in current Fedora versions, RHEL8, and openSUSE Tumbleweed. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/adamthiede/bin/build/2872181/

Thanks for adding this. Is this needed to get Amfora into Fedora then? I assumed distro maintainers could create this instead of it needing to be in the repo, but I'm fine if it needs to be.

You should set the BUILDER env var when calling make. Otherwise it would default to a value of Makefile, when it should be something like official-rpm, or official-fedora.

This file just makes it easier for individuals to build, and for the package to be adopted into distributions. Distro maintainers would be able to do it themselves. I'm not a contributor to any distro (yet, I hope to change that) but just thought this would be a helpful addition. If you'd prefer me to go through the packaging process for Fedora, I will make an attempt. Something I've been wanting to do for a while honestly. I'll define the BUILDER variable as well.

The ideal situation for me is when distro package maintainers can handle any distro-specific information or files, and so that way I don't need to update it. So yeah, it'd be great if you could go ahead and make the Fedora package instead. Does that work?

Sounds good. I will try and make that happen. Thank you for being so communicative.

You're welcome, and thank you for putting time into this! Let me know what happens.
