pkg-rpm
Create a Debian package from an executable binary.
Usage
pkg-rpm requires a specific structure for your binary directory. For example:
.
└── project
├── LICENSE
├── README.md
├── package.json
└── dist
└── executable
Your source directory must have a package.json for a properly generated
SPECS/packageName.spec with the following fields:
namedescriptionlicensehomepage
const pkgRhel = require('pkg-rpm')
const path = require('path')
const opts = {
version: '0.0.1',
name: 'executable',
dest: path.join(__dirname, 'project', 'dist'),
src: path.join(__dirname, 'project'),
input: path.join(__dirname, 'project', 'dist', 'executable'),
arch: 'amd64',
logger: console.log
}
await pkgRhel(opts)API
await pkgRhel(opts)
Creates a RedHat package in your dest directory. Under the hood pkgRhel
generates an applicable SPECS/packageName.spec file and runs rpmbuild to
create the package.
Options:
- opts.version: Version number of the package.
- opts.name: Name of the package.
-
opts.dest: Destination where to write the final package. It will be saved
as
name-version-arch.rpmin the provideddest. -
opts.src: Path to source directory. Must have a
package.json. - opts.input: Binary to be packaged.
-
opts.arch: Architecture. You can specify:
x64oramd64. -
opts.logger: Logger to help you debug. Defaults to
debug.
