rpmbuild is used to build both binary and source software packages. A package consists of an archive of files and meta-data used to install and erase the archive files. The meta-data includes helper scripts, file attributes, and descriptive information about the package. Packages come in two varieties: binary packages, used to encapsulate software to be installed, and source packages, containing the source code and recipe necessary to produce binary packages.
One of the following basic modes must be selected: Build Package, Build Package from Tarball, Recompile Package, Show Configuration.
These options can be used in all the different modes.
-?, --helpPrint a longer usage message then normal.
--versionPrint a single line containing the version number of rpm being used.
--quietPrint as little as possible - normally only error messages will be displayed.
-vPrint verbose information - normally routine progress messages will be displayed.
-vvPrint lots of ugly debugging information.
--rcfile FILELIST Each of the files in the colon separated
FILELIST
is read sequentially by rpm for configuration
information.
Only the first file in the list must exist, and tildes will be
expanded to the value of $HOME.
The default FILELIST is
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc:/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc:/etc/rpmrc:~/.rpmrc.
--pipe CMDPipes the output of rpm to the command CMD.
--dbpath DIRECTORYUse the database in DIRECTORY rather than the default path /var/lib/rpm
--root DIRECTORYUse the file system tree rooted at DIRECTORY for all operations. Note that this means the database within DIRECTORY will be used for dependency checks and any scriptlet(s) (e.g. %post if installing, or %prep if building, a package) will be run after a chroot(2) to DIRECTORY.
The general form of an rpm build command is
rpmbuild {-bSTAGE|-tSTAGE} [(1) rpmbuild-options
] FILE...
The argument used is -b if a spec file is being
used to build the package and -t if rpmbuild
should look inside of a (possibly compressed) tar file for
the spec file to use. After the first argument, the next
character (STAGE) specifies the stages
of building and packaging to be done and is one of:
-baBuild binary and source packages (after doing the %prep, %build, and %install stages).
-bbBuild a binary package (after doing the %prep, %build, and %install stages).
-bpExecutes the "%prep" stage from the spec file. Normally this involves unpacking the sources and applying any patches.
-bcDo the "%build" stage from the spec file (after doing the %prep stage). This generally involves the equivalent of a "make".
-biDo the "%install" stage from the spec file (after doing the %prep and %build stages). This generally involves the equivalent of a "make install".
-blDo a "list check". The "%files" section from the spec file is macro expanded, and checks are made to verify that each file exists.
-bsBuild just the source package.
The following options may also be used:
--buildroot DIRECTORYWhen building a package, override the BuildRoot tag with directory DIRECTORY.
--cleanRemove the build tree after the packages are made.
--nobuildDo not execute any build stages. Useful for testing out spec files.
--rmsource Remove the sources after the build (may also be
used standalone, e.g. "rpmbuild --rmsource foo.spec").
--rmspec Remove the spec file after the build (may also be
used standalone, eg. "rpmbuild --rmspec foo.spec").
--short-circuit Skip straight to specified stage (i.e., skip all stages leading
up to the specified stage). Only valid with -bc
and -bi.
--signEmbed a GPG signature in the package. This signature can be used to verify the integrity and the origin of the package. See the section on GPG SIGNATURES in rpm(8) for configuration details.
--target PLATFORM When building the package, interpret PLATFORM
as arch-vendor-os and set the macros
%_target,
%_target_cpu, and
%_target_os
accordingly.
There are two other ways to invoke building with rpm:
rpmbuild {--rebuild|--recompile} SOURCEPKG...
When invoked this way, rpmbuild installs the named source
package, and does a prep, compile and install. In addition,
--rebuild builds a new binary package. When the build
has completed, the build directory is removed (as in
--clean) and the the sources and spec file for
the package are removed.
