Red Hat build of MicroShift

Build the RPM package for the application manifests

To build your own RPMs, you must create a spec file that adds the application manifests to the RPM package. If the application RPMs and other elements needed for image building are accessible to image builder, you can use the method that you prefer.

The following is an example procedure.

Prerequisites

You have set up a Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Edge (RHEL for Edge) 9.6 build host that meets the image builder system requirements.
You have root access to the host.
The file tree required to build RPM packages was created.

Procedure

In the ~/rpmbuild/SPECS directory, create a file such as <application_workload_manifests.spec> using the following template:

Example spec file

Name: <application_workload_manifests>
Version: 0.0.1
Release: 1%{?dist}
Summary: Adds workload manifests to microshift
BuildArch: noarch
License: GPL
Source0: %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
#Requires: microshift
%description
Adds workload manifests to microshift
%prep
%autosetup
%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{prefix}/lib/microshift/manifests
cp -pr ~/manifests $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_prefix}/lib/microshift/
%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

%files
%{_prefix}/lib/microshift/manifests/**
%changelog
* _<DDD MM DD YYYY username@domain - V major.minor.patch>
- <your_change_log_comment>

The %install section creates the target directory inside the RPM package, /usr/lib/microshift/manifests/ and copies the manifests from the source home directory, ~/manifests.

All of the required YAML files must be in the source home directory ~/manifests, including a kustomize.yaml file if you are using kustomize.

Build your RPM package in the ~/rpmbuild/RPMS directory by running the following command:
```
$ rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/<application_workload_manifests.spec>
```
