Using tarball in creating rpm

Corrado · 06-08-2018, 02:22 PM

What I am trying to do in the rpm which I am creating I thought would be fairly simple. I think I am getting hung up on the syntax.

I want the rpm to only create a new directory and from SOURCE extract the files from a tarball into the newly create dir.

Here is a snapshot of the sections I need help with in the spec file on my RHEL7 system. Have read many guides but can't quite understand how the tarball and files are integrated.

Quote:

Source0: myfiles.tar.gz
Source1: file1

BuildRequires:
Requires: bash

BuildArch: noarch

%description

%prep
# I think this extracts the tarball?
%setup -q

%build

%install
rm -rf %{buildroot}

mkdir -p %{buildroot}/opt/install
install -m 0755 %{SOURCE0} /opt/install/

mkdir -p %{buildroot}/%{_bindir}
cp %{SOURCE1} %{buildroot}/%{_bindir}/

%files

Thanks!
Chris

You haven't followed up with your thread here:

And from the looks of it, most of your others either.

EDIT: Here's another one about building rpm's here:
