Hello! We tried using cygwin, but this was a pain. We had to install many other packages beside the rpmpackage, which are not delivered with cygwin by default, to get it to work. The aim is, to make it possible for a developer to create a RPM package without these difficult steps. We have agreed to build the RPM package on a unix system and using profiles do differ the operating system for building the package only under unix.
I tried to build the RPM using the following POM: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.incowia.rpmexample</groupId> <artifactId>RpmProject</artifactId> <packaging>jar</packaging> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>RpmProject</name> <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>3.8.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> <profiles> <profile> <id>linux</id> <activation> <os> <family>unix</family> </os> </activation> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>rpm-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0-beta-2</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>attached-rpm</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <group>com.incowia.rpmexample</group> <mappings> <mapping> <directory>/temp</directory> </mapping> </mappings> <name>myrpmexampleRPM</name> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </profile> </profiles> </project> [INFO] [jar:jar] [INFO] [rpm:attached-rpm {execution: default}] [WARNING] Version string truncated to 1.0 [INFO] Creating spec file /home/incowia/projects/RpmProject/target/rpm/SPECS/myrpmexampleRPM.spec [WARNING] error: License field must be present in package: (main package) [INFO] Building target platforms: noarch [INFO] Building for target noarch [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] *RPM build execution returned: '1' executing '/bin/sh -c cd /home/incowia/projects/RpmProject/target/rpm/SPECS && rpmbuild -bb --buildroot /home/incowia/projects/RpmProject/target/rpm/buildroot --define '_topdir /home/incowia/projects/RpmProject/target/rpm' --target noarch myrpmexampleRPM.spec'* The following Filesstructure is created under "RpmProject/target/rpm": BUILD (empty) + buildroot temp (empty) RPMS (empty) SOURCES (empty) + SPECS *myrpmexampleRPM.spec* SRPMS (empty) The *myrpmexampleRPM.spec *file contains the following: Name: myrpmexampleRPM Version: 1.0 Release: SNAPSHOT20090703092244 Summary: RpmProject Group: com.incowia.rpmexample BuildRoot: /home/incowia/projects/RpmProject/target/rpm/buildroot %description %files %dir /temp Maybe I forgot a important POM- configuration or anything else!?
