Re: [GTALUG] Making RPM from directory tree?

I've long found that making linux packages seems to be more complicated than I might have hoped. To build RPMs, you typically use rpmbuild(8) which uses a set pf diretories (SOURCES, SPECS, BUILDROOT, RPMS, ...) to build rpms. But you might have a look at "fpm" - the "effing" package manager. https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-fpm-to-easily-cr... I find creating RPM repositories relatively simple - createrepo(8) (or possibly createrepo_c(8)) feel straightforward to me. GPG package signing is not too hard. I find deb/apt repositories to be more involved. Hope that helps! John
