- SBT Plugin using the Redline RPM library to build RPMs.
- The motivation behind this custom auto-plugin is to provide RPM creation capability from SBT using a purely Java approach i.e. without using external tools such as
rpmandrpmbuild. - Thus, a user of this plugin can also build an RPM on a Windows/non-Linux machine, provided it meets the basic requirements below.
- Scala version >= 2.10
- sbt version >= 0.13.13
- The current stable version is 1.0.3
- Add the plugin to your project or global plugins.sbt file
addSbtPlugin("org.hypercomp" % "sbt-rpm" % "1.0.3")- The plugin is hosted in bintray
This plugin provides 2 tasks. Both are to be invoked without any additional command-line arguments
- rpmBuild
- rpmClean
