This repository hosts the RPM package spec file for the Awestruct static site generator.
The package is named rubygem-awestruct.
This RPM spec was developed for Fedora 18 and above, but may be useful for other RPM-based systems.
You first need to install the packages necessary to build the RPM. Begin by installing the @fedora-packager group (as root or using sudo):
yum install @fedora-packager wget
Next, clone this repository and switch to it:
git clone git://github.com/awestruct/rubygem-awestruct-rpm.git cd rubygem-awestruct-rpm
Finally, install the packages that this build requires (as root or using sudo):
yum-builddep rubygem-awestruct.spec
Next, we need to put the package source and patches in place.
You can build RPMs as a non-privileged user, though you need to prepare the directories first.
Let’s use the directory rpmbuild in our $HOME directory:
echo "%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild" > $HOME/.rpmmacros
You’ll also need to create all the required folders:
mkdir -p $HOME/rpmbuild/{BUILD,BUILDROOT,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
Next, grab the Asciidoctor gem (the sources) and put it into the $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES directory:
wget -O $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES/awestruct-0.5.0.gem http://rubygems.org/gems/awestruct-0.5.0.gem
Finally, copy the .patch files from this repository to the same directory:
cp patches/* $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
You’re now ready to build the RPM.
With everything in place, building the RPM is easy!
rpmbuild -ba rubygem-awestruct.spec
If all goes well, both the binary and source RPMs will emerge in the $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch and $HOME/rpmbuild/SRPMS directories, respectively.
There’s nothing special about installing this RPM.
I recommend using yum because it will install any dependencies that the package requires (though you should already have them if you built the RPM).
yum localinstall $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/rubygem-awestruct-0.5.0.rpm
