Testing FPM Cookery

Testing FPM Cookery

Wed 22 April 2015

In this post I note some of my experiences while playing with FPM-Cookery to build appbundles.

Convert rubygems to rpm

Prerequisite

'''
# yum install ruby-devel gcc rpm-build
# gem install fpm
# gem install fpm-cookery
# gem install bundle

Testing

'''
$ fpm -s gem -t deb aws-sdk
$ rpm rubygem-aws-sdk-2.0.39-1.noarch.rpm --test -i
error: Failed dependencies:
rubygem(aws-sdk-resources) = 2.0.39 is needed by rubygem-aws-sdk-2.0.39-1.noarch
$ fpm -s gem -t rpm aws-sdk-resources
$ rpm rubygem-aws-sdk-resources-2.0.39-1.noarch.rpm --test -i
error: Failed dependencies:
rubygem(aws-sdk-core) = 2.0.39 is needed by rubygem-aws-sdk-resources-2.0.39-1.noarch
'''

To resolve dependencies this way does not work in the long run.

'''
$ vi Gemfile
'''

Insert the following:

'''
# Gemfile
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "aws-sdk"
'''

Build all the dependencies:

'''
$ bundle package
$ find vendor/cache -name '*.gem' | xargs -n1 fpm -s gem -t rpm
Created package {:path=>"rubygem-builder-3.2.2-1.noarch.rpm"}

Install all the packages you built; ''' $ sudo rpm -iv *.rpm '''
