This repo is not maintained anymore, I would recommend using docker for rpm related stuff, for example stepanstipl/centos7-rpm-devtools image.

Stepan's personal tap for homebrew formulae

This tap was originally created when I've decided to move from MacPorts (http://www.macports.org/) to Homebrew (http://brew.sh/) and one major things that I was immediately missing was createrepo tool for generating rpm repositories metadata.

• I suppose you have Homebrew installed (if not follow instructions at http://brew.sh/)
• Add this tap: brew tap stepanstipl/noop
• Install what you want: brew install <formula>

• Createrepo tool for generating rpm repositories metadata.
• Latest stable version 0.4.11.
• After installing libxml2, make sure it's symlinked to /usr/local:
  • echo /usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib/python2.7/site-packages >> /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libxml2.pth

• Fast yum metadata parser in C. Dependency for createrepo.
• Version 1.1.4.

• Classical rpm tool - version 4, version used by main Linux distributions like RHEL, CentOS and Fedora (default one in Homebrew is rpm5, but that one does not have python bindings required by createrepo).
• This one conflicts with default rpm.
• Version 4.12.0.1
• If you're using system Python, make sure Homebre's site-packages are added to your Python sys.path:
  • mkdir -p /Users/$(whoami)/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages
  • echo 'import site; site.addsitedir("/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages")' >> /Users/$(whoami)/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/homebrew.pth

• Tool for checking common errors in rpm packages.
• Version 1.6.

• If you're using system Python, make sure Homebrew's site-packages are added to your Python sys.path:
  • mkdir -p /Users/$(whoami)/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages
  • echo 'import site; site.addsitedir("/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages")' >> /Users/$(whoami)/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/homebrew.pth
• After installing libxml2, make sure it's symlinked to /usr/local:
  • echo /usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib/python2.7/site-packages >> /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libxml2.pth
