package Building RPMs

Repositories

You must enable the following repositories to be able to install all the build dependencies:

| Distributions | Dependency | Installation | Notes | |-------------------|----------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------| | RHEL and clones | EPEL | dnf install epel-release | use epel-next-release on CentOS stream | | RHEL and clones | Power Tools | dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools | also known as PowerTools on some variants / versions | | RHEL 9 and clones | CRB | dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb | | All | rpmfusion | configuration |

Install Build Requirements

The spec file can be found here: https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/tree/master/packaging/rpm/xpra.spec

dnf builddep xpra.spec

You may also refer to the more generic list of dependencies

Build

python3 ./setup.py install

RPM

The quick and easy way:

mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ >& /dev/null
git clone https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra
cd xpra
python3 ./setup.py sdist --formats=xz
cp dist/*xz patches/* ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
rpmbuild -ba ./packaging/rpm/xpra.spec
ls -s ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/*/

This builds fresh packages from git master.
You can also use other branches, tags or download a source release instead.
