As it seems to be rather hype currently to speaks about tools for making rpm
build easier, let me share also some trivial trick i use to switch between
different rpm build environment.
All actual files (.rpmrc, .rpmmacros, .rpmlintrc, .rpmprocrc) for foo
environment have their name postfixed with .foo (.rpmrc.foo, .rpmmacros.foo,
.rpmlintrc.foo, .rpmprocrc). The attached script use symlinks to create
correct configuration.
#!/bin/bash
# Change current rpm profile
profile=$1
if [ -z "$profile" ] ; then
echo "usage: `basename $0` <profile>"
exit 1
fi
cd $HOME
files=`ls .rpm*.$profile`
if [ -z "$files" ] ; then
echo "unknown profile $profile"
exit 1
fi
echo "switching rpm profile to $profile"
for file in $files; do
ln -nsf `basename $file` `basename $file .$profile`
done
cd $OLDPWD
