Centpkg

Centpkg is a wrapper for rpkg which interacts with RPM git repositories like the ones hosted at http://git.centos.org. Rpkg also provides some convenience methods/commands for local builds via mock or rpmbuild, for interacting with koji, and for generating patches.

Centpkg is in pre-alpha state, as of now this is a proof of concept.

For now only a very small subset of rpkg commands are enabled.

Exception handling at the top level has been disabled for now to get better tracebacks during development.

Installing

Centpkg currently requires the EPEL repository for pyrpkg and other dependencies.

root# <Install and configure EPEL-Release>
root# yum install pyrpkg
root# git clone https://bitbucket.org/bstinsonmhk/centpkg.git
root# cd centpkg
root# python setup.py install
