A sample spec file to build dumb-init as an RPM

[deatrich]

I attach an example RPM SPEC file (dumb-init.spec) that can be used to build an RPM of this application. The user should change the version number for the 'this_ver' macro to match the downloaded version number before building the RPM. This one has coded in it version 1.1.2
dumb-init.spec.txt

Awesome, thanks for sending this in! Is this something we should include in the repo or at least mention in the README?

We don't use or know too much about RPM packaging, but we'd be happy to add instructions or take patches that make it easier.

We actually use RPM in my shop. Currently, we just have ansible playbooks which download the binary but a package would be nice, too. CentOS 6/7.

It would be enough to include it in the repo I think. People who build
RPMs often look for a .spec file in the a source tarball as a starting
point for building an RPM.

It worked fine for me building it from this spec file for both SL6 and SL7
(clones of RHEL 6 and 7)

So from a working rpmbuild tree, you simply do:
rpm --sign -ba dumb-init.spec
in order to build the architecture-specific RPM, as well as the source RPM
(--sign only if you digitally sign your RPMs)

cheers, etc.

you can use this copr for fedora and centos

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/alsadi/dumb-init/

there is a pending PR to integrate it with future releases
