This repository contains files needed to package jeo for Redhat based systems.
The following distributions are supported and have been tested.
- RHEL/CentOS 6
- Fedora 21
Other distributions and versions are likely to be supported as well, but not officially verified this time.
The jeo package doesn't declare any dependencies on other packages despite having a few runtime dependencies. This is done intentionally to make the package as portable as possible since the following dependencies tend to vary greatly across systems.
A 1.8+ java runtime is a hard requirement. Some distributions provide a 1.8 jdk out of the box. If not one can be downloaded from Oracle.
The jeo package ships with built versions of the GDAL java bindings. The gdal and ogr based drivers will cease to function without libgdal installed on the system. The package manager will warn on install if said libraries are not installed.
See the GDAL binary page for details on installing GDAL on your platform.
Building the rpm package requires a system with rpmbuild installed and
configured. The vagrant directory contains a number of vagrant box
configurations that make it easy to set up such an environment.
Setting up an environment manually is also straight forward. The following packages must be present:
% yum install rpm-build unzip wget
And a file named .rpmmacros must exist in the home directory of the user
performing the build. Never build as root. The file should contain the
following contents:
%_topdir <path to rpmbuild directory>
To build the package simply run the build.sh command in the root of this
repository. Upon success the jeo rpm should be located in rpmbuild/RPMS/
under the sub-directory matching the architecture of your system.
