Nevo Hed created THRIFT-2309:
--------------------------------
Summary: Ruby (gem) & PHP RPM subpackages
Key: THRIFT-2309
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2309
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build Process, PHP - Library, Ruby - Library
Affects Versions: 0.9.1
Environment: RHEL, Centos, Fedora, ...
Reporter: Nevo Hed
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.9.2
While a thrift gem is currently provided, many prefer to install gems that are
encapsulated in an RPM. This provides deployment consistency with other
components of their system.
Also noticed that a full rpmbuild run (where php is installed on the build
machine) would break as it will attempt to install the php files into the
system itself (rather than the build-root, requiring elevated permissions)
Detailed list -
Support packaging ruby RPM (as a rubygem)
+ Following convention for packaging gems as RPMs
by naming the subpackage as rubygem-thrift
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Ruby?rd=Packaging/Ruby#RubyGems
+ Includes one obsoletes statement but various builders may have used
different names for previously built ruby lib RPMs, so more may
need to be added.
+ Set a local GEM_HOME during build/install stages so that the gems
installed during the build will be tossed and no root access will
be required for the build
+ Set RUBYLIB to first search the local (./lib/rb) path to prevent
conflicts with other versions of thrift that may be installed on
the build machine.
Support for packaging php RPM
+ New sub-backage to house the results of "make install" of lib/php
+ Set PHP_PREFIX in configure to be in the build root
