Conary:Ruby App Template

From rPath Wiki

Conary packagers can write a package recipe to package a Ruby application that contains a setup.rb file in the distribution. This recipe inherits directly from the PackageRecipe class in Conary.

Use the following template to start the recipe, and make the changes suggested:

 
class MyApp(PackageRecipe):
    name = 'myapp'
    version = '1.0'
 
    buildRequires = []
 
    def setup(r):
        r.addArchive('http://www.example.com/foo/'
                     '%(name)s-%(version)s.tar.bz2',
                     dir='/opt/%(name)s/')
        r.Run('ruby setup.rb config')
        r.Run('ruby setup.rb setup')
        r.Run('ruby setup.rb install --prefix="%(destdir)s"')

Suggested changes:

• Change the class name to a CamelCase representation of the application name
• Change the value for name to the application name as packaged
• Change the value for version to the application version
• After cooking (with cvc) or building (with rMake), add items to the buildRequires section as instructed by the build messages (see Conary Recipe Structure for more information); remove the buildRequires line altogether if it is not needed
• Change the URL to reflect the location of the application
• Change the value of the dir option in addArchive as necessary
