I have created one script , i just need create an RPM with that..

Can any one guide me how to create an RPM for my script in LINUX.

say : my script path in /home/jk/script

can any one tell the steps to create an RPM

Honestly, for a single script... you're probably better off not having one in all likelihood.

There is a good tutorial here:

hi ,thanks for the reply , where can i put my shell script , in the pdf its mentioning source as some tar.gz file

All the notes tells " Only .tar.gz, .tar, .tgz and .tar.Z can be used with RPM. "


is this possible to make my shell script ( test.sh ) to an rpm .

This might help you out.

Look at this thread:
Creating an RPM without source

while building thee rpm getting the below error message :

Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.85151 (%prep)


how to overcome from this ..

My script in the other thread that builds the rpm uses ~/rpmbuild as the rpm building directory. Unless you've set up your .rpmmacros file to specify use of ~/rpmbuild then you need to change the script to use /usr/src/packages.

RPM is install in a Red hat Linux . when you create a RPM it create Mkdir as make directory, home directory . It builds the Environment Package for whole directories and it also prepares fonts files for package using the commands of linux.

finally i could develop a RPM for rm , while installing its creating a binary /bin/rm , also i have renamed the original /bin/rm to /bin/rm_old . while executing "rm" executing my new script for "rm " and working fine .

the problem is :
i have renamed the current /bin/rm to /bin/rm_old , while am using "rm" its executing new binary and working fine . but while shutting down and booting up its creating so many problems , it seams so many dependencies with original rm.


how can i rename the original rm to some other name ( /bin/rm-old ) , if am doing this whether i should mention any where so that kernel can identify the original rm is in new name /bin/rm_old

First of all the go to your system programs then create a one director in your system then in wish directory you one crate a one file and If you plan to create an RPM package for the Fedora repository, follow the process for How to join the Fedora Package Collection Maintainers, including following the various Fedora guidance.
