Rpm

Description

A basic task for invoking the rpm executable to build a RedHat Package Manager Linux installation file. The task currently only works on Linux or other Unix platforms with rpm support.

Parameters

Attribute	Description	Required
specFile	The name of the spec file to be used. This must be relative to the SPECS directory under the root of the RPM set in the topDir attribute.	Yes
topDir	This is the directory which will have the expected subdirectories, SPECS, SOURCES, BUILD, SRPMS. If this isn't specified, the default RPM directory of the system (or user, if ~/.rpmmacros defines it) is used (often /usr/src/rpm. Defining a topdir will set %_topdir to the specified directory -there is no need to edit your .rpmmacros file.	No, but your build file is very brittle if it is not set.
cleanBuildDir	This will remove the generated files in the BUILD directory. See the the --clean option of rpmbuild.	No
removeSpec	This will remove the spec file from SPECS. See the the --rmspec option of rpmbuild.	No
removeSource	Flag (optional, default=false) to remove the sources after the build. See the the --rmsource option of rpmbuild.	No
rpmBuildCommand	The executable to use for building the RPM. Defaults to rpmbuild if it can be found or rpm otherwise. Set this if you don't have either on your PATH or want to use a different executable. Since Apache Ant 1.6.	No
command	The command to pass to the rpmbuild program. The default is "-bb"	No
quiet	Suppress output. Defaults to false.	No
output/error	Where standard output and error go	No
failOnError	Stop the buildprocess if the RPM build command exits with a non-zero returncode. Defaults to false	No
