rpkg 1.67.post1

Install from distribution packages

rpkg is available in Fedora and EPEL repositories. It can be installed with package manager command. There is Python 3 package for Fedora and EPEL8; and Python 2 package in EPEL7.

Install in a Fedora system:

sudo dnf install python3-rpkg

Install in EPEL7:

sudo yum install python2-rpkg

Install in EPEL8:

sudo dnf install python3-rpkg

Install in a Python virtual environment

Both Python 2 and 3 packages are published in PyPI. Install rpkg in a Python 3 virtual environment in these steps:

python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install rpkg rpm-py-installer

You are free to create a virtual environment with option --system-site-packages.

Please note that, rpkg depends on some other utilities to build packages. These packages are required to be installed as well.

• mock: for local mockbuild.

• rpm-build: for local RPM build, which provides the command line rpm.

• rpmlint: check SPEC.

• copr-cli: for building package in Fedora Copr.

• module-build-service: for building modules.

Sign-off commit

Make sure to sign-off your commits by git commit -s. This serves as a confirmation that you have the right to submit your changes. See Developer Certificate of Origin for details.

Run Tests

Before make a pull request, ensure local changes pass all test cases.

Before run tests, install these packages:

sudo dnf install python27 python36 python39 git make gcc rpm-build \
rpm-devel libcurl-devel krb5-devel openssl-devel python3-devel

To run tests simply, make test.

By default, target test runs tests with all supported Python versions. However, if you look into Makefile, there is still a target tox that allows developer to run tests with test environments one by one.
