RPM2PACO(8) System RPM2PACO(8)NAME
rpm2paco - create paco logs from a local RPM database
SYNOPSIS
rpm2paco [OPTIONS] <packages>
DESCRIPTION
rpm2paco is a shell script that create paco(8) logs from rpm(8) ones. The newly created logs are placed into the paco log directory auto-
matically.
Is not mandatory to add the version suffix to the input packages, since rpm adds it automatically.
OPTIONS -a, --all
Read the whole rpm database of the system, and create a paco log for each logged package. Warning: for more than a few packages,
this may take a long time.
-q, --quiet
Be quiet, except for errors.
-f, --force
Force overwrite of any already logged package. By default they are skipped.
-j, --sync-version
Remove obsolete versions of the packages from the paco database. For instance, if foo-1.0 is beeing imported, and foo-2.4 is logged
by paco but not by rpm, remove foo-2.4 from the paco database.
-s, --strip-release
Remove the release suffix from the name of the package (e.g. 'foo-1.0.2-2.1' --> 'foo-1.0.2').
-h, --help
Print a usage message and exit.
-v, --version
Print version information and exit.

rpmbuild - Build RPM Package(s)
SYNOPSIS
BUILDING PACKAGES:
rpmbuild {-ba|-bb|-bp|-bc|-bi|-bl|-bs} [rpmbuild-options] SPECFILE ...
rpmbuild {-ta|-tb|-tp|-tc|-ti|-tl|-ts} [rpmbuild-options] TARBALL ...
rpmbuild {--rebuild|--recompile} SOURCEPKG ...
MISCELLANEOUS:
rpmbuild --showrc
rpmbuild-options
[--buildroot DIRECTORY] [--clean] [--nobuild]
[--rmsource] [--rmspec] [--short-circuit] [--sign]
[--target PLATFORM]
DESCRIPTION
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.
GENERAL OPTIONS
These options can be used in all the different modes.
-?, --help
Print a longer usage message then normal.
--version
Print a single line containing the version number of rpm being used.
--quiet
Print as little as possible - normally only error messages will be displayed.
-v Print verbose information - normally routine progress messages will be displayed.
-vv Print 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:~/.rpmrc.
--pipe CMD
Pipes the output of rpm to the command CMD.
--dbpath DIRECTORY
Use the database in DIRECTORY rathen than the default path /var/lib/rpm
--root DIRECTORY
Use 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.
BUILD OPTIONS
The general form of an rpm build command is
rpmbuild -bSTAGE|-tSTAGE [ 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:
-ba Build binary and source packages (after doing the %prep, %build, and %install stages).
-bb Build a binary package (after doing the %prep, %build, and %install stages).
-bp Executes the "%prep" stage from the spec file. Normally this involves unpacking the sources and applying any patches.
-bc Do the "%build" stage from the spec file (after doing the %prep stage). This generally involves the equivalent of a "make".
-bi Do the "%install" stage from the spec file (after doing the %prep and %build stages). This generally involves the equivalent of a
"make install".
-bl Do a "list check". The "%files" section from the spec file is macro expanded, and checks are made to verify that each file exists.
-bs Build just the source package.
The following options may also be used:
--buildroot DIRECTORY
When building a package, override the BuildRoot tag with directory DIRECTORY.
--clean
Remove the build tree after the packages are made.
--nobuild
Do 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.
--sign Embed 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 accord-
ingly.
REBUILD AND RECOMPILE OPTIONS
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.
SHOWRC
The command
rpmbuild --showrc
shows the values rpmbuild will use for all of the options are currently set in rpmrc and macros configuration file(s).
