Hello Sir,
thank you.
Is that jpackage for rpm creation of java application?.
I need to create rpm package for my java application.
From the jpackage project home page :
The JPackage Project has two primary goals:
- To provide a coherent set of Java software packages for Linux, satisfying all quality requirements of other applications.
- To establish an efficient and robust policy for Java software packaging and installation.
Therefore the answer to the above question is : yes. Indeed many linux distro follow this java packaging standard.
Also. i need to create rpm p[ackage for C application.
I rpm howto explains the procedure to create rpm.
but, I not understand RPM_BUILD_ROOT.
Is that /home/mypackage/rpmbuild directory.
Maybe I did not understand the question. Anyway.
In rpm 4.4.2.x.y.z the rpm build root - e.g. the stage area where in the SPEC you install your application in the %install section - have to be defined in the SPEC file as something as
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-root
- the _tmppath macros was defined in ~/.rpmmacros as something as
......................
%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild
%_tmppath %{_topdir}/tmp
.......................
In recent RPM version of rpm.org it is predefined (and BuildRoot directive is ignored) as
%{_topdir}/BUILDROOT/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{_arch}
if _topdir isn't defined in .rpmmacros it defaults to %{getenv:HOME}/rpmbuild
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-root
- the _tmppath macros was defined in ~/.rpmmacros as something as
......................
%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild
%_tmppath %{_topdir}/tmp

Also, if I have custom shell script to run and make the C application or java application, where can I call the shell script in spec file.
please give any good example spec file for the above doubts.
In the %build section. In the %install section install <myapp> in %{buildroot}/<destdir> and in %file section write
<destdir>/<myapp>
No example spec to refer, but i think it is not necessary now.
hth
<destdir>/<myapp>

thank you.
