The default is to build in a chroot sandbox, but it also +supports building in a virtual machine for better security. -At first you need to copy your SUSE Linux CDs into a -path reachable by the build script, for example /home/suse-8.2-i386. +The build tool can work with multiple package and recipe formats. +The currently supported package formats are deb, rpm, and arch. +The supported recipe formats are spec, dsc, kiwi, and PKGBUILD. -If you have a DVD Drive and the SUSE Linux DVD, you can mount it -and use this as the source for the RPMs. +See the man page for more information. -To build an RPM, change into the directory with the sources -and the SPEC file. Then start the build script: -env BUILD_RPMS=/home/suse-8.2-i386/suse build - -If this was successful you can find the binary and source RPMs below -/var/tmp/build-root/usr/src/packages/ - -Note: Depending on which package you want to build, you'll need -a few hundred megabytes for the build in /var/tmp/build-root. - -For more information on using build, see 'man build'. |
