Multipkg

Multipkg automates and versions your package builds.

Installation

Multipkg is best installed via rpms/debs built by... Multipkg.

The bootstrap process is a little primitive now, but here are the steps:

1. Install your developer tools

• might be unnecessary now
• yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"

1. install YAML::Syck and makemaker

yum install perl-YAML-Syck perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker

1. git clone multipkg
2. cd multipkg
3. manually build and install your first multipkg package

PREFIX=./root PKGVERID=0 INSTALLDIR=source scripts/transform
perl -I ./source/lib root/usr/bin/multipkg -t .
sudo yum -y install multipkg-*rpm

1. Remove the first package

rm multipkg*rpm

1. Build your final multipkg package from git

git-multipkg -b https://github.com/ytoolshed/ multipkg

1. upgrade on the current host immediately so there is no confusion

sudo yum upgrade ./multipkg*rpm

1. ENJOY
