NAME

SYNOPSIS

10

DESCRIPTION

12       Reproducible Build Manager (rbm) is a tool that helps you create and
13       build packages for multiple linux distributions, and automate the parts
14       that can be automated. It includes options to run the build in a
15       defined environement to allow reproducing the build.
16
17       It can be used to create rpm, debian and other types of packages.
18

MAIN FEATURES

20       tarball creation
21           Create tarballs for your software using a simple command and a git
22           or mercurial revision.
23
24       automatic verification of gpg signatures
25           If your git commits or git tags are gpg signed, the signature can
26           be automatically checked using a specified keyring.
27
28       package creation
29           Create binary or source packages from any git or mercurial revision
30           using a simple command.
31
32       packages upload
33           Upload the packages that you have built to a repository and update
34           metadata.
35
36       multi-os support
37           RPM and debian packages are currently supported. Support for more
38           packaging systems could easily be added. Using package templates
39           and the Template Toolkit, you can make different packages for
40           different distributions using the same files. The syntax of this
41           templating system is much more clear and powerful than the RPM
42           macros syntax.
43
44       remote builds
45           Build your software on a remote server with ssh, or in a local
46           chroot using a different OS. For instance if you are using rbm on
47           an rpm based distribution, this allows you to build debian packages
48           from the same workspace, using a Debian chroot.
49
50       customizable
51           Almost everything rbm do can be changed using some optional
52           settings, globally, or for some selected projects or OSs.
53
54       simple configuration
55           The configuration is done using simple YAML files.
56
57       a flexible configuration system
58           All settings can be set globally, per workspace, project, or target
59           operating system.
60
61       a dynamic configuration system
62           All configuration settings are templates. You can reuse other
63           configuration settings, or the output of some commands in those
64           settings. For instance, the version number of your software can be
65           set using a command to grep the README file in your sources tree.
66
67       extensible in perl
68           While the configuration is usually done in simple YAML, you can
69           also in the same configuration file use perl to define any of the
70           options. Those options can be defined by a perl function that will
71           be executed when the option is queried, and whose return value will
72           be used as the option value.
