Create RPM package about pdfsam HOT 10 CLOSED

You can assign it to me, even if I can not grant you that it will be ready for 3.0.0.M2. I'm looking into it and I hope it will be ready before 3.0.0 :)

Hello, any SRPMS or spec files available?

from pdfsam.

Not yet, as PDFsam v3 is still on development there's no installation package yet, just the zip bundle. Once the software is stable enough I'll start looking at the installation bundles.

Understood, thanks.
Any chance you can share the v2 SRPM/spec, btw?

There's no Linux package for version 2.. at least none maintained by me.

I know how to build RPM packages and I'm trying to do that. But I'm stuck at #352...

from pdfsam.

There is one RPM built for v3.3.7 at build.opensuse.org, but since networking is not allowed in OBS (thus it is difficult to use Maven), the packager actually just repacked the zip archive downloaded from the PDFsam website (that RPM file was not built from source using Maven).

I created a pdfsam-basic RPM package at build.opensuse.org.

The most important file is the pdfsam-basic.spec, analogous to a control file for a DEB package.

For the same reason, my package was not built from source, but just a repacking of the v4.0.1 zip archive.

I'm working on an alternative spec file (pdfsam-basic.spec.alternative) that could be built locally from source using Maven and rpmbuild.

Please let me know if you want me to do a pull request.

Right now anyone using a RPM distribution can install the RPM package I built running:

# rpm -Uvh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/kamarada:/15.1:/dev/openSUSE_Leap_15.1/x86_64/pdfsam-basic-4.0.1-lp151.1.1.x86_64.rpm

openSUSE users can run:

# zypper ar -f -K -n "Linux Kamarada" https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:kamarada:15.1:dev/openSUSE_Leap_15.1/ kamarada
# zypper ref
# zypper in pdfsam-basic

We already provide a .deb and a portable package. There is some rpm out there, not maintained by us. I don't think we will implement this, mostly given the rising popularity of packaging like flatpack or snap. I'm more include to investigate and implement those.
