Generate a valid Fedora specfile from Python package from PyPI
Project description
pyp2spec
This project is a thought descendant of specfile_generator.
It generates working Fedora RPM spec file for Python projects. The produced spec files must be compliant with the current Python Packaging Guidelines (in effect since 2021). It utilizes the benefits of pyproject-rpm-macros.
This project's maturity state is alpha. Its API may be a subject of change.
What it does
pyp2spec
gathers all the necessary information from PyPI to produce a valid
Fedora spec file and stores it in the current directory alongside with
the config file used to produce the spec file.
Inside, there are two parts:
- pyp2conf: gathers of all the necessary information to produce a spec file and stores it in a configuration file
- conf2spec: produces working spec file using all the information from configuration file
How to run
To run whatever this project offers at this point,
install package pyp2spec
from PyPI with the command:
pip install pyp2spec
Then you can run:
pyp2spec <pypi_package_name>
or those two commands which will together produce the same result as pyp2spec
:
pyp2conf <pypi_package_name>
conf2spec <config_file>
To see all available command-line options, run --help
with the respective commands.
Development
Alternatively, you can clone the project from GitHub and install the dependencies to you virtual environment:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
To run the script and generate both the config and spec file, type:
python -m pyp2spec.pyp2spec <pypi_package_name>
You can run either of the tools separately to generate partial results:
python -m pyp2spec.pyp2conf <pypi_package_name>
python -m pyp2spec.conf2spec <config_file>
Tests
To run the tests, run tox:
tox
You can install tox
from your OS repository or PyPI.
Test dependencies are defined in the project's [test]
extra.
Configuration file specification
Configuration data is stored in a TOML file.
