fixes #110

Why does this build-depend on vim-common?

chriskuehl · 2016-08-15T08:14:42Z

Thanks for sending this in! We don't know very much about RPM packaging, so if anyone viewing this has comments or can review it better than we can, that'd be much appreciated :)

Could you also update CONTRIBUTING.md and add any new instructions for us when we make a new release? I'm guessing it's as simple as just bumping the URL/version number/changelog in this file.

Would it be useful for us to post built RPMs to GitHub releases as well, like we do for the Debian packages?

muayyad-alsadi · 2016-08-15T08:53:47Z

I'm trying to use Copr service to offer secure RPMS builds directly for latest fedora and CentOS.

you just need to update a single line which is Version: 1.1.3 to lets say Version: 1.1.4 and add log entry at the end of the file to be something like

%changelog
* Thu Sep 15 2016 First Name <youremail> - 1.1.4-1
- update to upstream 1.1.4

* Mon Aug 15 2016 alsadi <[email protected]> - 1.1.3-1
- initial packaging

muayyad-alsadi · 2016-08-15T08:57:24Z

build is done using

rpmbuild -ba dumb-init.spec

regarding quality of this file, it can be reviewed using rpmlint and I've tested it and validated it

$ rpmlint dumb-init-1.1.3-1.fc24.src.rpm
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.
$ rpmlint dumb-init-1.1.3-1.fc24.x86_64.rpm
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.

I'm guessing it's as simple as just bumping the URL/version number/changelog in this file.

no need to update the url, I made it to read the version from second line %{version}

Would it be useful for us to post built RPMs to GitHub releases as well, like we do for the Debian packages?

Yes they are ready from here

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/alsadi/dumb-init/

If you merge it, I can make the build system points to your github repo and provide build directly from there.

I guess fedora/centos people would prefer yum repo rather than downloading the rpm file. so you might need to point them to my copr or create your own copr repo.

muayyad-alsadi · 2016-08-15T09:23:32Z

here is the direct rpm link if you like

still curious why this depends on vim-common? (GitHub buried my original comment, it seems)

still curious why this depends on vim-common? (GitHub buried my original comment, it seems)

because I have a line that runs make VERSION.h (although it's commented out) which calls /bin/xdd which belongs to vim-common

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qf /bin/xxd vim-common-7.4.1868-1.fc24.x86_64

You can make it depend on /bin/xxd as filename if you wish
You can comment both out (so that the one who is building un-released version would enable both again)

muayyad-alsadi · 2016-08-18T08:19:12Z

so if anyone viewing this has comments or can review it better than we can, that'd be much appreciated :)

I guess we have got around 5 fedora developers reviewing this, and things are going well.

Do you have headless-test (that can run when build machine is offline and can't reach network or a without running docker daemon) to be conducted during the build process to validate the build.

My guess is there is no such tests, because your tests in the Makefile use docker (which imply root and network to fetch images).

asottile · 2016-08-18T08:21:46Z

I believe make test is the target you're looking for for "headless" tests.

For others' reference, here's the Fedora ticket: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367033

Let us know when you think this is ready-to-go. It seems okay to me, but I don't know enough about RPM packaging to do a thorough review. We're happy to take your / the Fedora developers' word for it :)

chriskuehl · 2016-08-24T04:22:38Z

Also, to expand on @asottile's comment, make test should do what you want, though it runs tox and so will download some packages from PyPI.

If that's not acceptable because there's no internet at all, you can do what Debian does to run tests during the build:

override_dh_auto_test:
    PATH=.:$$PATH py.test tests/

You'd need to install the test dependencies beforehand, though. The test dependencies the Debian maintainer is installing are:

    ,python
    ,python-mock
    ,python-pytest

I assume there are equivalent packages in RPM land?

muayyad-alsadi · 2016-08-26T13:01:45Z

I have another branch for activating testing build.

please merge this one as is.

here is the other branch

https://github.com/muayyad-alsadi/dumb-init/tree/rpm-spec-with-check
muayyad-alsadi@f424845

I'll open another issue regarding the tests.

samrocketman · 2016-10-11T02:40:44Z

@chriskuehl are you against building RPM and DEB packages from the gradle nebula ospackage plugin? I realize this isn't a Java project but it uses a Java library to build both DEB and RPM packages. The advantage to this is you can be on a DEB system and build RPM packages with the same amount of effort (i.e. almost no effort).

https://github.com/nebula-plugins/gradle-ospackage-plugin

muayyad-alsadi · 2016-10-11T07:24:56Z

@samrocketman yes, I'm against using tools other than the best tool ever.

in fedora the best tool is mock (not even rpmbuild, because mock creates an empty OS tree then validate your build dependencies, whereas rpmbuild use your host, which you might have random things installed)

the most easy way might be is to use docker to start a fedora/centos container
then use that container to type

rpmbuild -bs dumb-init.spec

this would build a .src.rpm file which you can upload to build systems like copr

chriskuehl · 2016-10-11T18:15:05Z

@samrocketman I don't think we want to change the Debian packaging too much, since we use a version of this internally too.

I'm guessing it might be easier to just set up additional RPM packaging? Pretty much all a system package has to do is provide the binary at /usr/bin/dumb-init (or similar) and optionally the manpage.

We don't know much about RPM packaging, though, so I'm definitely open to recommendations on the best way to approach that. I'm happy to add a simple step to our release process (e.g. uploading RPMs in addition to the debs) if that would help consumers of dumb-init. We already build the Debian packages in a debian:jessie container, we could presumably do the same for RPM with whatever build system/container is best.

LGTM

just checked with my rpm build environment (OracleLinux8), works for me (with changes to latest version of package sources):
