write package as an rpm (/bin/pacakge make)

[sunchill06]

Hi @lkoutsofios

How can I use /bin/package to write the ksh package as an rpm?

There are no examples given?

[lkoutsofios]

hi, there's no automatic way to do it. you could use bin/package to first build the binaries, then package write to make binary packages for INIT and ast (or ksh specifically), then use the .tgz files generated to make an RPM. you would need to write the RPM spec. it's a similar mechanism if you want to include the ast software in a container. lefteris

Thanks for responding. I tried package write but somehow it fails. I did package write rpm, but it fails.

How to execute package write, any examples?

Appreciate your help.

For more information:
Initially I ran package make, this created all the binaries inside arch/linux.i386-64/bin

Now my intention is to create an rpm out of this. So I ran package write, but it gives me this error:

package: binary or source operand expected

How to get around this?

I think this will work: ./bin/package write base binary INIT ast then in ./lib/package/tgz you should see files like these: INIT.2020-06-08.linux.i386-64.md5 INIT.2020-06-08.linux.i386-64.tgz INIT.linux.i386-64.tim PACKAGE.linux.i386-64.lst ast.2020-06-08.linux.i386-64.md5 ast.2020-06-08.linux.i386-64.tgz ast.linux.i386-64.tim

Thanks a lot, it worked. Though it did not have ksh binary.

Will this be the command for generating ksh tar?
./bin/package write base binary ksh ast

[lkoutsofios]

if ksh was built it should be in the .tgz tar file. you can use package to generate a .gz of the ksh binary with the command ./bin/package write base binary ksh but that is just the ksh binary compressed, not very useful.
