How do I build an RPM using Bamboo?

[John Chaney]

Hello, I am trying to stand up a bamboo instance and after completing a source pull and build, I would like to create an RPM for distribution to my server. Is there any information regarding how to do this or a best practice? Based on what came stock inside of Bamboo, it looks like I could do it inside of a Command Task, but I would prefer something a bit more reusable if possible.

Thank you.

Hi,

Note that if you can perform on your instance command line, you can do it using Bamboo. I believe you can create a script and execute it setting a script task in Bamboo: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Script

This answer is definitly what I ended up implementing. The process of making RPMS is easily scritable for some sections, and needs to be configured on a per project basis in others. I suppose I was hoping for a plugin to be available, but this method will suit my needs and make me learn something new. So thanks.

He's asking how to build an RPM packing using Bamboo not how to package Bamboo in an RPM.

At my company we build RPMS using an ant script that calls the ant RPM task. There wasn't any difference having Bamboo run this.
