NAME

rt_buildpackage - build an RPM from within the project's source tree

SYNOPSIS

 rt_buildpackage [OPTIONS]
 rt_buildpackage [OPTIONS] PROJECT.bootstrap
 rt_buildpackage [OPTIONS] PROJECT.spec.in
 rt_buildpackage [OPTIONS] PROJECT.spec

DESCRIPTION

rt_buildpackage alows one to build RPM-based projects from within the project's source tree. It can generate packages in the current directory, as well as the usual RPM output locations under %_topdir.

Upon startup, if no filenames are provided rt_buildpackage searches "." and ".." for the files *.bootstrap, *.spec.in and *.spec in that order and exits with an error message if eiher directory contains more than one file of each kind, or if neither directory contains any matching files.

Next if -x option was given it calls rt_bootstrap(1) to configure the project.

Next it calls rt_makedist(1) to create/update an source files required to build the project.

Finally it calls rpmbuild(8) with the appropriate arguments to generate the RPMs, and, if -O or -c options were given, moves them into their intended destinations.
