rpmvenv 0.1.2

RPM packager for Python virtualenv.

RPM packager for Python virtualenv.

Basic Usage

# Run from inside your package root. Right next to the setup.py
rpmvenv --version="1.2.3"

# Or run it against some other package root.
rpmvenv --version="1.2.3" --source="/home/someuser/projects/coolcode"

The standard process which runs is to create a virtualenv with the default Python interpreter, install the contents of requirements.txt, install the targeted package, and wrap it all up in an RPM. If the source package does not contain a requirements.txt it is silently skipped.

The command line tool allows for some configuration of behaviour:

$ rpmvenv --help
usage: rpmvenv [-h] [--source SOURCE] [--version VERSION] [--python PYTHON]
               [--venv-option VENV_OPTIONS] [--requirement REQUIREMENTS]
               [--no-requirements]

Generate an RPM.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --source SOURCE       The path to your Python source.
  --version VERSION     The version of your Python package.
  --python PYTHON       The Python interpreter to use in the virtualenv.
  --venv-option VENV_OPTIONS
                        Extra flags to pass to virtualenv.
  --requirement REQUIREMENTS
                        Requirements files to install. (relative to source
                        root)
  --no-requirements     Disable installation of requirements.txt files.

Configuration Files

# Point to a config file within a Python source repository.
rpmvenv --version="1.2.3" --source="/path/to/config.yml"

For more in-depth customization of the package contents a configuration file may be used. Configuration files can be either YAML or JSON encoded. The valid values are as follows:

-   name => The package name.

-   version => The package version.

-   spec => Mapping of spec values.

    -   description => Long form description of the package.

    -   python => Python interpreter to use in virtualenv.

    -   venv_options => Iterable of virtualenv flags to use.

    -   extra_files => Iterable of two-tuples where the first element
            is the path of the source file relative to the source root
            and the second is the path of the installed file relative
            to the system root.

    -   post => Iterable of post-install commands to run.

    -   postun => Iterable post-uninstall commands to run.

-   macros => RPM macro definitions.

    -   pkg_name => The name of the RPM package.

    -   pkg_version => The version number to assign the RPM.

    -   pkg_release => The number of times this version has been
            released. The default is 1.

    -   pkg_group => The RPM group in which the package belongs. The
            default is Applications/System.

    -   pkg_summary => A short, one line summary of the package
            contents. The default is a copy of the package name.

    -   pkg_license => The license under which the package code is
            distributed. The default is No License.

    -   pkg_url => A URL to the package source contents. The default is
            a copy of the package name.

    -   pkg_source => A URL or path to the project source code. The
            last element in the path must be the pkg_name value. The
            default value is a copy of the package name.

    -   pkg_install_dir => The path, relative to the root directory, in
            which the package content will be installed on a host. The
            default value is /user/share/python.

    -   pkg_user => The system user to create which will have ownership
            of the installed files. The default is root.

    -   pkg_user_group => The system group to create which will have
            ownership of the installed files. The default is root.

Testing

The included tests will run with the default py.test runner. They require a command line argument for a remote git package which can be cloned and built.
