    #Do stuff specific to upgrades
echo "It's just upgrade"
fi
fi

%changelog
* Wed Jan 25 2014 Builder <builder@...> 0.1
- First build.

folder name that include your files in BUILD directory is: sailfishquickim-0.1-1.arm

P.S.
0.1-1:
0.1 = number of Version
1 = number of Release

If you change this numbers in folder name, also you need change them in the .spec file.

Good luck

T.Mavica, detailed explanation for you

1. Connect your phone to WinSCP via SSH connection and open Putty. How to here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92491
2. Run this command as ROOT:

Code:

mkdir -p /root/rpmbuild/{BUILD,BUILDROOT,RPMS/armv7hl,SPECS}

3. Download this files to your PC -> extract from ZIP and transfer folder named sailfishquickim-0.3-1.arm to /root/rpmbuild/BUILD on your phone.
3. Download this spec file to your PC -> transfer it to /root/rpmbuild/SPECS
4. Three commands for creating your package (as ROOT):

Code:

/bin/cp -rf /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/sailfishquickim-0.3-1.arm /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT
cd /root/rpmbuild
rpmbuild -bb SPECS/sailfishquickim.spec

5. Transfere it where you want, for example to Downloads folder:

Code:

/bin/cp -f /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/armv7hl/sailfishquickim-0.3-1.armv7hl.rpm /home/nemo/Downloads

6. Install your package from any File manger directly on the phone or as ROOT from terminal/Putty:

Code:

pkcon install-local -y /home/nemo/Downloads/sailfishquickim-0.3-1.armv7hl.rpm

7. Uninstall your package as ROOT:

Code:

pkcon remove sailfishquickim

Here is your last (new) package: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...-1.armv7hl.rpm

So, if you want to update your package, some steps:
1. Change version number of your folder, for example from sailfishquickim-0.3-1.arm to
sailfishquickim-0.4-1.arm or
sailfishquickim-0.3-2.arm

Where is:
0.3-1:
0.3 = number of Version
1 = number of Release

2. Change to the SAME version in the .spec file. For example:
From this:

Code:

Name:          sailfishquickim
Version:       0.3
Release:       1

to this:

Code:

Name:          sailfishquickim
Version:       0.4
Release:       1

or this:

Code:

Name:          sailfishquickim
Version:       0.3
Release:       2

3. Change your files inside sailfishquickim-0.3-1.arm folder to new files.
4. Create new RPM package

That's all

Hi Schturman,

wonder if you can help, after entering the line

Code:

rpmbuild -bb SPECS/myfirstpackage.spec

I get the following output;

Code:

[nemo@Jolla rpmbuild]$ rpmbuild -bb SPECS/myfirstpackage.spec
Processing files: myfirstpackage-0.1-1.armv7hl
error: File must begin with "/"

How do I proceed please?

Regards,

your %files section in spec file, all listed files must begin with /

Thanks NielDK, that worked, albeit I now have a different error from RPM build;

Code:

RPM build errors:
    Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/images/myfirstpackage.jpg
   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/myfirstpackage.ambience
   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds.index
   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds/myfirstpackage_Calendar.mp3
   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds/myfirstpackage_Clock.mp3
   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds/myfirstpackage_Email.mp3
   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds/myfirstpackage_IM.mp3
   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds/myfirstpackage_Ringtone.mp3
   /usr/share/ambience/myfirstpackage/sounds/myfirstpackage_SMS.mp3

I'm a total noob when it comes to this, but I do want to learn. Why is the package not being compiled and would I be right in thinking when it is compiled , I should then find the package RPMS folder?

Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated NielDK.

Regards,

Hi Schturman,
thanks, but for now, I'm trying to compile your file using your SPEC file, all as an experiment so I can see what is doing what before my eyes.
So, as yet, I have no SPEC file of my own, only yours.

NielDK kindly answered me and now I have got a bit further. It seems that a line or command in the SPEC file was causing the compiled RPM to get deleted - I'm in a right pickle!, but it's all good and is how I learn!

I'm starting again and hopefully this time, I will have an RPM file at the end of it! (I feel like I'm learning another language and not doing very well!)

Here is where I'm at now;

Code:

[root@Jolla rpmbuild]# rpmbuild -bb SPECS/myfirstpackage.spec                   Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/myfirstpackage-0.1-1.arm
Executing(%clean): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.C5rTfh
+ umask 022
+ cd /root/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ /bin/rm -rf /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/myfirstpackage-0.1-1.arm
+ exit 0
[root@Jolla rpmbuild]#

After the above, there is no RPM, only the created files. I'm a bit lost!

Regards,

It's good output! You will find created rpm file in: /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/armv7hl
just copy it to you Downloads folder...

Cool, it's good to know you think the output is good, however, I couldn't continue because no file existed at /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/armv7hl

I will try again, but now for some reason I am hitting permission problems with root/user - I must be doing something wrong, I'm sure I will get there, these journeys are often long for me!

Thanks Schturman, I'm sure I will be back with more questions!

EDIT - Twice I've tried now, the same output you say is good, but still no RPM being created/found in RPMS directory.

Regards,
