[cargo subcommand] for building `.rpm` releases of Rust projects.



## Requirements



- Rust **1.41**+



## Installation



Install `cargo rpm` by running: `cargo install cargo-rpm`.



## Configuring a crate



To configure your crate for RPM releases, run `cargo rpm init`



This will create a `.rpm/YOURCRATENAME.spec` file which is passed to the

`rpmbuild` command. Though the generated spec should work out of the box,

it may need some customization if the resulting RPM has dependencies or

files other than target binaries.



You can also specify the `--output` argument to save the `.spec` file into

a different directory. However, you will then also need to add `config` entry

in the `[package.metadata.rpm]` section of the `Cargo.toml` file pointing to

that directory, or run `build` command with `--config` argument.



For more information on spec files, see:



## Building RPMs



Once your crate has been configured, run `cargo rpm build` to build release

targets for your project and package them into an RPM.



If you encounter errors, you may need to see more information about why

`rpmbuild` failed. Run `cargo rpm build -v` to enable verbose mode.



Finished `.rpm` files will be placed in `target/release/rpmbuild/RPMs/`.



You can also specify the `--output` argument (or add the `output` entry in `Cargo.lock`)

to change the location of `.rpm` file. It can either be a file or a directory:



*  If the arg value ends in a `/` (or if it is already an existent directory), the value

   is treated as a directory path and rpm is created inside it with the default naming

   scheme (`--..rpm`).

* For other arg values, the value is treated as a file path (the default naming scheme

  _won't_ be followed in this case).

* Both relative and absolute paths work as input (relative paths will be normalized to

  be absolute when passing over to `rpmbuild`).

* Parent directories in the path are auto-created, if not present (this is handled by

  `rpmbuild`).
