Introduction

This recipe enables you to freeze your buildout in a RPM, tgz's, etc. You can specify the package details, the installation prefix, and the eggs and scripts that must be copied to the package.

Only RPM packing is currently implemented.

This recipe is EXPERIMENTAL and quite unstable, so use at your own risk...

The package version.

Example

[rpm] recipe = as.recipe.frozenpkg:rpm pkg-name = testapp pkg-version = 1.0 pkg-vendor = The Vendor pkg-packager = My Company pkg-url = http://www.mycomp.com pkg-license = GPL pkg-deps = libevent

install-prefix = /opt/testapp

eggs = ${buildout:eggs}

sys-python = /usr/lib/python2.6

scripts =

testapp

extra-copies =

/usr/lib/libpython* -> lib/ /usr/local/lib/mylib.so -> lib/ /usr/local/lib/myextras*.so -> lib/

pre-install =

echo "Installing at ${buildout:pkg-prefix}"

post-install =

echo "Installed at ${buildout:pkg-prefix}"

debug = yes

Known Bugs

• You must comment out the prelink_undo_cmd at /etc/rpm/macros.prelink, or the RPM generated will fail to install.
