Multipkg

Multipkg automates and versions your package builds.

Installation

Multipkg is best installed via rpms/debs built by... Multipkg.

The bootstrap process is a little primitive now, but here are the steps:

1. Install your developer tools
   • might be unnecessary now
   • yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
2. install YAML::Syck and makemaker

   yum install perl-YAML-Syck perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker
   

3. git clone multipkg
4. cd multipkg
5. manually build and install your first multipkg package

   PREFIX=./root PKGVERID=0 INSTALLDIR=source scripts/transform
   perl -I ./source/lib root/usr/bin/multipkg -t .
   sudo yum -y install multipkg-*rpm
   

6. Remove the first package

   rm multipkg*rpm
   

7. Build your final multipkg package from git

   git-multipkg -b https://github.com/ytoolshed/ multipkg
   

8. upgrade on the current host immediately so there is no confusion

   sudo yum upgrade ./multipkg*rpm
   

9. ENJOY
