bench/installers/rpm_package_build

Important:

• archive name must be in the format $(name)-$(version).tar.gz and directory within it must be named as $(name)-$(version)
  
• filename of the .spec file must be exactly as a package name, do not change it
  
• do not run rpmdev-setuptree and rpmbuild as a root user
  

To prepare your environment for building .rpm package do the following:

1. install instruments:
   sudo yum install epel-release rpmdevtools yum-utils
   
2. create directory hierarchy for rpm (this will create directory ~/rpmbuild with the subdirectories BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS):
   rpmdev-setuptree
   
3. place bench.spec into ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
   
4. place bench-0.92.tar.gz into ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
   
5. install all required for .rpm building dependencies:
   yum-builddep ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bench.spec
   

To build .rpm package run:
rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bench.spec
The resulting .rpm will be in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/ and .srpm in ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS

To install .rpm package run:
sudo yum localinstall path/to/rpm/package

Current state: builds ok but resulting bench fails with the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bench", line 7, in <module>
from bench.cli import cli
ImportError: No module named bench.cli
