Journey in RPM packaging

I had to package nginx and modrails for CentOS 5, it was a painfull process, achieved with some fairly ugly hacks, but it works.

In the process, I also repackaged ruby enterprise edition (simple rebuild from this one ) and the needed gems, based on ruby-enterprise. See this mail about using this package of Ruby Enterprise.

Here are the RPMS and the SRPMS. You can use them with yum, simply cut/paste this into

/etc/yum.repos.d/twisla.repo
