make src rpms

[stdweird]

mvn package calls rpmbuild without path, so this is pretty easy:

• make script called rpmbuild somewhere

#!/bin/bash
# First arg of rpmbuild in mvn package is -bb
shift
/usr/bin/rpmbuild -ba "$@"
exit $?

• add script to path

export PATH=$PWD:$PATH
chmod +x rpmbuild

• run mvn package

@jrha this produces both src and regular rpms

[jrha]

They get produced anyway, but I don't keep them because they are kind of pointless.

[stdweird]

how do you produce them?

[jrha]

Hmm, nope I was mistaken, we get the spec files though.

[stdweird]

yes, but maven makes no SOURCES, populates the buildroot directly, so spec files are a bit useless

[stdweird]

@jrha this is what i meant

[jrha]

Cool, thanks.

@wdpypere submitted a patch upstream for the maven rpm plugin, mojohaus/rpm-maven-plugin#66, if that gets merged we can avoid using @stdweird's workaround.

[wdpypere]

the patch just got merged at mojohaus/rpm-maven-plugin#66

The PR is tagged for release in 2.2.0 but last release was 2.1.5 in Feb 2016. 😢

2.2.0 (and 2.3.0) were eventually released, so we can look at this again.
