Hi All,
Two questions:
1. Has anyone tried packaging java jar files in rpm. Are there any special consideration?
Suggestion: take a look at what jpackage.org is doing for
ideas.
They've packaged
a whole boatload of them and have worked out
the
issues.
2. I already have a (inherited) system that builds c applications from source. It is somewhat circuitious in the way it gathers src, links...etc. I would rather not disturb the build but instead just capture the built binaries and package them as rpm. Is this possible ?
ie:
after my make completes, put the built binaries into the buildroot and run rpmbuild skipping the %build section.

Yeah, you can do
that. As long as your "make install" puts everything in
the
right place
(meaning a clean tree such as would be installed by the
%install
section), you can
point your %files section there and essentially leave the
other sections of
the specfile empty. In general it's nicer if the
specfile
captures the
secret sauce such that you can make a source rpm
for easy
rebuilding, but
only you know your system and how ugly it would be to do
that.
