Steve Loughran commented on SFOS-852:
-------------------------------------

Also: the signedLib directory can be made conditionally a symlink only on a secure build; on an unsigned release it is still a directory.

> To make it easier to release RPMs with signed JARs, without having people build everything from scratch
> -provide a build.xml that takes a precreated directory tree and runs <rpmbuild> over it
> -the .spec file can be precreated and populated with all the version tags 
> -a rpm.properties file (mandatory) would provide version information.
> -optional security.properties file (look locally, one up, and in ~/.ant) would provide signing info
> -the directory tree would be tarred up (unix tar, not Ant) and untarred using the unix tool too
> Implementing this should not be too hard, as it is very similar to what we do today. however, I dont want to port the testing as it is very brittle. Better to use SmartFrog itself to do the remote install/test, as that will drive those components.
