`redhat/build`¶

Configure jobs to build binary RPMs (.rpm) for this project from a source distribution or source RPM.

Description¶

This component creates multiple jobs -- one for each chosen RedHat version -- each with a common prefix, that take in a pre-existing upstream source distribution (tarball) or source RPM, and use rpmbuild to create binary RPMs.

After each build rpmlint is used to scan the new RPMs to produce a GitLab Code Quality report.

Usage¶

include:
  - component: git.ligo.org/computing/gitlab/components/redhat/build@<VERSION>

Inputs¶

Input	Default value	Description
`cache_dir`	`".cache/rpm"`	The path to cache downloaded RPMs to (relative to `$CI_PROJECT_DIR`)
`disable_repos`	`""`	Space-separate list of RPM repo names to disable
`dnf_update`	`true`	Update all installed packages with `dnf update` before proceeeding
`enable_repos`	`""`	Space-separate list of RPM repo names to enable
`epel`	`false`	Pre-configure the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository
`job_prefix`	`redhat_build`	Prefix to use for build job name
`needs`	`[]`	List of jobs whose artifacts are needed for the RPM build
`redhat_versions`	`[8]`	Versions of Red Hat to build for
`dynamic_version`	`true`	Automatically detect package version from Python `PKG-INFO` metadata file and update RPM `.spec` file
`rpmbuild_options`	`""`	Options to pass to rpmbuild
`rpmlint_options`	`""`	Options to pass to `rpmlint`
`source_distribution_name`	`".tar."`	Name of the source distribution file (if building directly from a tarball)
`srpm_name`	`"*.src.rpm"`	Name of the source RPM file
`stage`	`build`	The stage to add jobs to

Notes¶

Requires an upstream source distribution or source RPM¶

Creating binary RPMs is only supported when starting from an upstream tarball that contains a .spec file, OR a source RPM (.src.rpm).

See Examples for examples.

Customisation¶

Rpmlint¶

See Rpmlint in redhat/source for details.

Examples¶

Build a binary RPM for a Python project¶

Create binary RPMs from a Python 'sdist'

  - component: git.ligo.org/computing/gitlab/components/python/sdist@0.1
    inputs:
      stage: source
  - component: git.ligo.org/computing/gitlab/components/redhat/build@<VERSION>
    inputs:
      needs: [sdist]
