DESCRIPTION

gbp~buildpackage-rpm is used to build RPM packages from a Git repository. It is an RPM counterpart for the gbp~buildpackage tool that is designed for building Debian packages.

gbp~buildpackage-rpm will, in order:

  • Verify that it is being executed from the proper location.
  • Verify that the repository doesn't contain any uncommitted source changes.
  • Verify that it is being executed from the correct branch.
  • Export packaging files to a separate build area.
  • Create an orig source tarball if it doesn't exist.
  • Call rpmbuild(1) (or the application specified via --git-builder), passing along all command line arguments that don't start with --git-.
  • (Optionally) tag the tree after a successful build.
  • (Optionally) call a post build hook - e.g. to run rpmlint.
  • (Optionally) call a post tag hook - e.g. to push the results to a remote repository after creating the tag.

OPTIONS

--git-[no-]ignore-new
Don't abort if there are uncommitted changes in the source tree or the current branch doesn't match the PACKAGING-BRANCH.
--git-tag
Add a git tag after a successful build.
--git-builder=BUILD_CMD
Use BUILD_CMD instead of rpmbuild -ba.
--git-cleaner=CLEAN_CMD
Use CLEAN_CMD.
--git-verbose
Verbose execution
--git-color=[auto|on|off]
Whether to use colored output.
--git-color-scheme=COLOR_SCHEME
Colors to use in output (when color is enabled). The format for COLOR_SCHEME is '<debug>:<info>:<warning>:<error>'. Numerical values and color names are accepted, empty fields imply the default color. For example --git-color-scheme='cyan:34::' would show debug messages in cyan, info messages in blue and other messages in default (i.e. warning and error messages in red).
--git-notify=[auto|on|off]
Whether to send a desktop notification after the build.
--git-tmp-dir=DIRECTORY
Base directory under which temporary directories are created.
--git-vendor=VENDOR
Distribution vendor name.
--git-native=[auto|on|off]
Define the 'nativity' of a package. The default value auto makes gbp~buildpackage-rpm to guess. Guessing is based on the existence of upstream branch.
--git-upstream-branch=BRANCH_NAME
Branch to build the orig tarball from if --git-upstream-tree is set to BRANCH. Default is upstream.
--git-packaging-branch=BRANCH_NAME
If you're not on this branch when invoking gbp~buildpackage-rpm it will fail. Default is master. This is done to make sure you don't accidentally release from a topic branch. Not being on this branch will be ignored when using --git-ignore-new.
--git-ignore-branch
Don't check if the current branch matches PACKAGING-BRANCH.
--git-[no-]submodules
Include git submodules in the orig tarball.
--git-[no-]sign-tags
GPG sign all created tags.
--git-keyid=GPG-KEYID
Use this keyid for gpg signing tags.
--git-posttag=COMMAND
Excecute COMMAND after tagging a new version.

Exported environment variables are: GBP_TAG (the name of the generated tag), GBP_BRANCH (the branch the package was build from) and GBP_SHA1 (the sha1 of the commit the tag was created at).

--git-postbuild=COMMAND
Execute COMMAND after successful build.

Exported environment variables are: GBP_CHANGES_FILE (the name of the generated changes file), GBP_BUILD_DIR (the build dir).

--git-postexport=COMMAND
Execute COMMAND after exporting the source tree.

Exported environment variables are: GBP_GIT_DIR (the repository the package is being built from), GBP_TMP_DIR (the temporary directory where the sources have been initially exported).

--git-prebuild=COMMAND
Execute COMMAND from the build directory before calling rpmbuild or the application specified via --git-builder.

Exported environment variables are: GBP_GIT_DIR (the repository the package is being built from), GBP_BUILD_DIR (the build dir).

--git-[no-]build
Enable builder. Note: --git-no-build causes the postbuild hook to be disabled, too.
--git-[no-]hooks
Enable running all (cleaner, postexport, prebuild, postbuild, and posttag) hooks. Note: the --git-builder command is not affected by this option.
--git-packaging-tag=TAG-FORMAT
Use this tag format when tagging released versions of the package.
--git-upstream-tag=TAG-FORMAT
Use this tag format when looking for tags of upstream versions, default is upstream/%(version)s.
--git-force-create
Force creation of an orig tarball (overwriting a pre-existing one if present).
--git-no-create-orig
Don't try to create any orig tarball.
--git-export-dir=DIRECTORY
Export the packaging files from the current branch head (or the treeish object given via --git-export to DIRECTORY before building.
--git-export-sourcedir=DIRECTORY
--git-export-specdir=DIRECTORY
Subdirectories under export directory where packaging files are exported. The default build options of rpmbuild builder are also adjusted accordingly.
--git-export=TREEISH
Instead of exporting the current branch head, export the treeish object TREEISH. The special name INDEX exports the current index, WC) exports all files in the current working directory.
--git-packaging-dir=DIRECTORY
Subdirectory that contains the RPM packaging files.
--git-spec-file=FILEPATH
Relative path to the spec file to use. Special value auto causes gbp~buildpackage-rpm to search and guess. Other values cause the --git-packaging-dir option to be ignored: the directory of the spec file is used, instead.
--git-upstream-tree=[TAG|BRANCH|TREEISH]
How to find the upstream sources used to generate the tarball. TAG looks at a tag corresponding to the version in the changelog. BRANCH looks at the upstream branch given via the --git-upstream-branch option. Other values are interpreted as treeishs.

This doesn't have any effect if --git-pristine-tar is being used.

--git-tarball-dir=DIRECTORY
Search for original tarballs in DIRECTORY instead of generating them.
--git-compression-level=LEVEL
Specifies the upstream tarball compression level if an upstream tarball needs to be built.
--git-tag-only
Don't build, only tag and run post-tag hooks.
--git-retag
Don't fail tag operations if a tag with the same version already exists, but, overwrite the existing tag, instead.
--git-pristine-tar
Use pristine-tar when generating the upstream tarball if it doesn't exist.
--git-pristine-tar-commit
Commit the pristine-tar delta to the pristine-tar branch if a new tarball was generated and the pristine-tar data isn't already there.
--git-mock
Use mock to build the rpms by invoking gbp-builder-mock.
--git-dist
Build for this distribution when using mock (e.g.: epel-6).
--git-arch
Build for this architecture when using mock, default is to build for the current host architecture.
--git-mock-root
The mock root to use. Defaults to DIST-ARCH from above.
--git-mock-options
Additional options to pass to mock. Default is to pass no additional options.

EXAMPLES

Only build a source RPM with rpmbuild

      gbp~buildpackage-rpm -bs
    

Build an RPM package with rpmbuild on a custom branch with the uncommitted changes included.

      gbp~buildpackage-rpm --git-ignore-branch --git-export=WC
    

CONFIGURATION FILES

Several gbp.conf files are parsed to set defaults for the above command-line arguments. See the gbp.conf(5)> manpage for details.

All options in the config files are specified without the 'git-' prefix.
