building an RPM of the rssh source.

[Chris B. <chr...@gm...>]

All,


It may be of some interest to anyone trying to roll their own RPM of this
application:


to build an RPM of rssh follow the following steps (this was completed on a
CENTOS 6.3 server with the development workstation package set)
assuming running as root.


extract the tar.gz file. (into ~/ is fine)

mkdir -p /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES

cp the tar.gz file into the above directory (not extracted)

cd into your extracted directory.

edit the rssh.spec file for the following line:


Replace:

%config(noreplace) ${_sysconfdir}/rssh.conf


with:

%config(noreplace) ${_sysconfdir}/rssh.conf.default

then type rpmbuild -bb rssh.spec

your new RPMs will now be found in:

/root/rpmbuild/RPMS/<arch>/

Hope this is of some assistance to someone.......
